| Fonctions : | Nurse Lillian Armstrong was the live-in nurse for Maud Ireland Porter, one of the 12 children born to John and Eliza Ireland. Nurse Armstrong was also a friend of the family. Ellen Charlotte Ireland was born on 15 January 1874, the 4th child born to John and Eliza Ireland. Also known as Nell, she married William Heard Forster on 13 September 1905 in Nelson. William was born on 23 October 1873. He was the president of the Pure Milk Company in Hamilton (later Hamilton Pure Milk Co.). Nell passed away on 15 April 1950 when she was 76 years old. William passed away 19 December 1955. According to Helen Caldwell, Nell was the matriarch of the family; all members of the family came to her with problems. Both Nell and William were extremely generous and helped many in financial situations. Helen lived with Nell and William through high school and university until she got married. |
