Theos-Talk Archives (February 1998 Message tt00259)

Yes, this is essentially correct, but the child was born and died while Judge was
still alive.  Ella Judge did tour with her husband (a wife's duty) but she did not
believe in the organization.  She was a Methodist if I recall correctly.   After
Judge died, she joined the ULT.  In the parent Lodge ULT in Los Angeles, you will
find on display in the pathfinder's library Judge's bow and arrow, donated by Mrs.
Judge.
