NotesEthel May Winter came to Canada aboard the Gallia in 1899. She was taken in by Walter and Ellen (Gray) Core in Bosanquet Township, Lambton County, Ontario. Walter died in 1911 and eventually Ellen married again to Benjamin Spearman. Ellen had no children of her own but took in Ethel and treated her as her own. Ethel became best friends with Reta Gilliland, who eventually married Ethel's adoptive cousin J. Wesley Burr. Ethel moved to Port Huron Michigan where she married Arthur L. Hastings in 1925. Arthur and Ethel had one daughter Phyllis, born in 1929. I only recently discovered that Ethel was a BHC, although the family always knew she was adopted and that her maiden name was Winter. Recent research has revealed more about Ethel, her sister Bertha who was also a BHC and also another sister Gladys.
