Overview
Ethel was born around 1909, in Putnam County, Tennessee. She was the oldest child of William Chester Henry and Crissey Roberson. When Ethel was around 3, her family moved from Tennessee to Oklahoma. By 1920, they were living in Pontotoc, Chickasaw County, Oklahoma.
Between 1920 and 1930, Ethel's mother, Cressie, died. At this point, the family seems to have scattered. In 1930, her father Chester (age 45) had moved from Oklahoma back to his parents' home in Tennessee, where he would die 4 years later[6]. Ethel (age 21) was, by 1930, married to William Schneider (age 23). They lived in Bristow, Creek County, Oklahoma, and had one son, Eugene (age 4). With them lived two of Ethel's younger siblings, Dorothy Henry (age 16) and Haskell Henry (age 17). Carol did not live with them, and may have been married and living with his own family by this point[7].
Ethel and William later more other children: Peggy Jeanette Schneider, William Schneider, and possibly Betty Grace Schneider.
