Another photo of her, during fieldwork in Arizona, along with extracts from her correspondence in the 1920s: www.deuceofclubs.com/books/257letters_from_tucson.htm She married an astronomer, Edwin Carpenter, in 1933, at Flagstaff AZ. They lived in Tucson and had two children, Roger and Emily. She was widowed in 1963, and she died in 1995, age 95. Edwin's papers are at the University of Arizona: www.azarchivesonline.org/xtf/view?docId=ead/uoa/UAMS332.x... This was an interesting search result: Ethel's steamer trunk turned up in a secondhand shop in Arizona in 2003; her daughter Emily Carpenter Long confirmed that it was Ethel's, and added some details: boards.ancestry.com/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=145&p=s...

what a fantastic set !! thanks
