Personal
Ouimet always had an aspiration to become a businessman to elevate himself into the middle class. The life of a professional golfer at that time did not offer an avenue to reach that goal. Within ten years of his U.S. Open victory, Ouimet had started to work as a banker and eventually a stock broker, which had always been his intention.
He married Stella M. Sullivan on September 11, 1918. They had two daughters: Jane Salvi and Barbara McLean.
Ouimet died in Newton, Massachusetts, on September 2, 1967, at age 74.

—Anica Vesel Mander, U.S. author and feminist, and Anne Kent Rush (b. 1945)
“Behind all their personal vanity, women themselves always have an impersonal contempt—for “woman.””
