Ella True Grover Guild



Born 14 July 1872 at Walton, Delaware County, New York
Died 4 April 1937 at Ballston Spa, Saratoga County, New York

Ella was the daughter of English immigrant, Charles J. Grover, and New Hampshire native, Eliza Beam True Grover. She was raised at Walton where her father was a tanner. Ella married to Charles Truman Guild on 18 February 1896 at Walton. They made their home on North Street at that place. They relocated to St. John Street at Walton about 1920. Her husband died in 1922 and she relocated to Queens, New York where she operated a small boarding house. Sometime after 1930, she relocated to Ballston Spa where her residence was near that of her son, Archie, at Saratoga Springs, New York. She was active in the work of the Episcopal Church and was remembered as capable and cheerful as she managed her affairs. Charles and Ella were the parents of four children; Edwin More Guild, Archibald Taylor Guild, Harriet Elizabeth Guild, and Abram True Guild. After his mother's death, Abram was known as Charles True Guild. Ella was buried in a Guild family plot at Walton Cemetery with her husband. Ella was the wife of my second cousin four times removed.
