Notes
"Edward S. Ellwanger, the youngest of the brothers, was born in 1859. He was educated in Rochester, at Tivoli-on-the-Hudson, and in Europe. He worked for Putnam in New York for a year, then returned to Rochester in 1881 and worked at Scranton, Wetmore & Co. as a bookkeeper until 1886. He then went into business for himself, first as a distributor of fireproof safes, and after 1891, oil heaters. He married Leah Cresswell in 1884. They had two daughters, Margaret and Helen, and lived in the house originally owned by Henry Ellwanger, next to George Ellwanger on the west side of Mt. Hope Avenue [Rochester]. Edward Ellwanger was stricken with Bright's disease and died in 1897 after a prolonged illness.
After the death of George Ellwanger in 1906, Leah Cresswell Ellwanger moved to the old family house next door, the better to care for the gardens laid out by her father-in-law. Miss Helen Ellwanger, the granddaughter of George, lived there until her death May 2, 1982, at the age of 96. She devoted her long life to the preservation of the very best of Rochester's architectural and landscape heritage, much of which was established by her family."
