Of Mary V. Ehresman, Harold I. Lieberman wrote "How and where she met Homer, I don't know, but it is my understanding that her roots were in Philadelphia. She coming home or to the Southwest and related to me how frightened she was by the Indians hung around the doors of the married soldiers homes. Her first pregnancy, which occurred after the move to the Pacific Northwest, was the cause of Florence May' s birth…… At that time, Mary and her husband were the only non-- Indians in the Port Angeles area. She decided that she was not going to have her first child attended only by the Indian women of Puget Sound, so when she thought the time was right she started back east on the recently completed northern route of the transcontinental railroad."
