Ellen lived with her brothers and family until 1897 when she bought land in La Jolla and had a house built on the coast. Her sister Virginia, or Ginny, lived with her in the house in La Jolla. Ellen and Ginny were quite the complement to one another. Ellen was quiet, clean, shy, and introverted. Whereas, Ginny was boisterous, bold and extroverted. The two women became prominent citizens of the small beach town.
