Wayne Co Il marriages show a marriage between James W. Ethington, and Edith Logan on 5 Dec 1889. James is son of William and ____ Leach, and Edith is daughter of John Logan.

Recollections by son, Raymond Ethington given to HE Sep 1990 in Salt Lake City Utah:
"[Dad] was a hard worker. Lived in Iowa and Nebraska all his life. Had few hobbies, was too busy working. Had a good sense of humor, would joke with us. Occasionally "tied one on". Was a strict disiplinarian."Letter from Mildred Ritchey to HDE dated 10 Aug 1992 (many documents relating to this family will be found in her file):
1. Name also given as "Jesse" Lee Ethington.
2. Birth date given as 21 Jan 1892 in Creston, IA 3. Death date given as 3 Mar 1970."Jesse was a hard working person. He worked in carpentry and construction work. He always stood up for me when Virgil was off on his shenanigans... drinking and carousing. He and Agnes were very good to me, as were all the rest of the family, including Grandma Wirth (Agnes' mother)."
"There was no LeRoy in any records or any mention of that name in this family.
The only time that name appears is the middle name of first child of Wilma May who is Ernest Leroy Eaton."
From son, Raymond Ethington Sep 1990:
"[Mom] is still living - in a rest home in Lincoln NE. She is 93 years old."From Mildred V. Ritchey letter dated 25 Jul 1992 to HDE:
"...Jesse Lee Ethington and his wife Agnes Nora Wirth."Letter from Mildred Ritchey to HDE dated 10 Aug 1992:
"Born 2 Aug 1894 (Riley's baby book entry which I took from Agnes 50 years ago to write in it, says she was born 2 Aug 1896. She still survives in Lancaster Manor, 1145 South St. Lincoln NE 68500".
"Agnes always told me she had 12 children. Virgil was her oldest. She said when she was 8 months pregnant with him, she was thrown out of a buggy on her stomach, but that it never hurt the baby a bit. I think she was about 16 when he was born."
"Agnes was born in Unadilla Nebraska."
Family Group sent by Cecil Robert & Louise Golzales Ethington 741 W. Robinwood Lane Fresno CA 93704 (209) 436-4230 (30 Aug 2001) shows her name as AGNES WORTH not WIRTH. "Wirth" was a typo. PKB

Letter from Mildred Ritchey to HDE 10 Aug 1992:
"Wilma stated that Betty Lou was 53 when she died 3 Mar 1987 in Lincoln, Nebraska. Betty Lou was a disabled child, very loving. As I view it now, it likely was cerebral palsy."
