Ethel Jane Stafford was born on August 5, 1898 in Lone Oak, TX. She had two brothers and four sisters. Ethel Stafford married Herbert Ensley on June 23, 1913, when she was only 14 - two months later she would turn 15. One year later, the month after her 16th birthday she would give birth to her first child, Ollin. They worked hard as farmers, living in Altoga, Texas. They later lived in Dixon and eventually in Lone Oak. Ethel had the gift of hospitality and was a wonderful cook. Their kids and grandkids have many wonderful memories of life at home and summers at Mamaw and Papa's. She will always be remembered for her huge skillets of fried potatoes, fried chicken and sweet tea and her ability to make everyone feel special and loved. In their later years, she and Herb could be found rocking on the porch swing in Lone Oak - waiting for whoever might visit. They stayed by each other's side until her death in 1977.
