Foster mother fights for child custody in Williamsport
Nine year old Ellen Ethel Barlow's foster mother testified she would rather the child be dead than removed from her care. The hearing before Judge Mortimer C. Rhone explored the custody bid by Ellen Ethel's parents, now residents of Toronto, as they seek to regain the girl from foster mother Mrs. Tra Reynolds who has cared for Ellen since she was four months old. The dispute traces to poverty after birth in Cleveland in 1930 and a move to Canada as the family faced hardship.
