Ernest attended MIT and studied architecture before entering that profession. He was successful; he designed a number of private houses and public buildings in the Boston area, especially the North Shore, as well as buildings in New Haven, CT, and Ottawa, Canada, where his older brother Joe was the general manager of the American Bank Note Co.
He drowned in a tragic accident when the canoe that he and his nephew Maurice M. Osborne were paddling capsized. His nephew Maurice was rescued but Ernest drowned probably due to his heavy clothing and the fact that one of his arms was very weak due to a recently healed break.
Ernest designed the chapel at Harmony Grove, and his architectural partner, Ambrose Walker would eventually marry his youngest sister Juanita. Ernest also designed the borders and embellishments on all of the family's full-length flat gravestones.
