Married:
- The England and Wales Civil Registration Index shows they were married in the quarter ending June 1900. They also appear married in the 1900 U.S. Census taken on 5 June. The census also shows "0" years married. Ellen's entry also shows she is the "mother of one child", and "zero children living" - most likely a reference to the fact that she was pregnant with their daughter Alma.
Betty Howell Traver's corrections to the Clopton Book p. 211 indicate m. "3 April 1900" [23, 24]

 | Nellie Davison in Bridgewater cir 1922
From a photo album belonging to Louise S. Davison "Lou" and her sister Alma M. Davison "Allie". This photo likely of Nellie Davison, was untitled, and on a page by itself facing a lone photo on the opposite page of an older man believed to be Alfred Grunberger, her then husband. The date could be about 1922 based on Catherine Leavitt's remarks about remembering that Nellie and "The Baron" (Grunberger) visited Bridgewater and attended a dinner party at Frank Davison's house when Catherine was a young girl. (Frank Davison is the father of Lou and Allie mentioned above) A newspaper article in 1922 also reports that Nellie and Grunberger visited Canada in 1922. In the summer of 1922 Nellie was 41, Mr. Gruenberger was 46, and Catherine Doran Davison Leavitt was 12. Margaret Helen Davison Lathrop recalls that the photos were taken at the Campbell House on the Medway River in Mill Village, NS (Hal Lathrop collection.) |

| Notes |
- Ellen Minora Davison, "Nellie", was born into a prominent family in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. Nellie's mother (Alma Hickman, "Annie") died when Nellie was 4 years old. Her father, Edward D. Davison, Jr., then married Margaret Robertson when Nellie was 6. Margaret died when Nellie was 15.
In the Winter of 1899 at age 18, Nellie was sent to visit family friends in Georgia where she took piano lessons with a well known Atlanta pianist, Henry Howell. Nellie and Henry eloped, and were married in April of 1900 in London, England. She was 19, Henry was 33. Nellie's father was strongly against the union and sought (unsuccessfully) to have it annulled on the grounds of her age.
Immediately following their marriage Henry and Nellie returned to live in Atlanta, Georgia. Their first child, Alma Minora Howell "Atze", was born in July of 1901; their second child, John Edward Howell was born in August 1902 just one month after the death of Nellie's father. In October 1902, the family moved to Europe, where Henry studied piano under Theodor Leschetizky in Vienna, Austria, teacher of the famous Paderewski.
We do not know the date of Nellie's divorce from Henry, but we do know that some time before 1907 the couple had separated with Henry retuning to America and Nellie remaining in Austria with the children.
The date of her second marriage to Mr. Grunberger is not known. Everyone in Nellie's extended Nova Scotia family called Mr. Grunberger "The Baron", as he was a high ranking minister and diplomat in the Austrian government. A 1922 newspaper article printed upon her visit to Canada refers to Nellie as "The Power Behind The Austrian Cabinet.....and very popular"
Her third marriage was to Hans Schmidt, whom we know nothing about. It was Mr. Schmidt who contacted Nellie's son John to inform him that his mother had died from natural causes in 1942.
After the war Nellie's children attempted to locate her grave but were told it was destroyed.
Other details:
On June 15, 1900 she appears in the 1900 U.S. census, living with her husband Henry Howell in Marietta, GA "dwelling no.150, Whitlock Ave, Marietta District, Cobb County, GA, Ellen Howell, boarder, white, female, born Nov 1880, age 19, married for "0" years (i.e.: married less than 1 year), mother of "1" child, "0" children living (perhaps refers to the fact that she was pregnant), born Canada (Eng), parents born Canada (Eng), reads, writes and speaks english."
The following letter was transcribed by Marlene Hickman and original is in her possession. The "Uncle John" to whom this letter is addressed, is most likely John Howard Hickman, b. 1858 who married Theresa Hay in 1893. John Howard Hickman is the youngest child of Joseph Hickman and the 3 years younger sibling of Nellies mother Alma.
September 9, 1900
Lowndes Building, Room 610
Atlanta, GA
My dear Uncle John:
Your letter with the Express Orders for Fifty-six dollars was received on Friday. I thank you very much for sending it and I am glad you did not give it to me before. I am sure I would not have thought of spending in such a nice way - buying shares - as I witness doing now. We have moved into Atlanta for the winter and have four rooms in a very pretty building. They are on the 6th floor so we have a beautiful view and at present a lovely breeze which is a very important feature of this climate. We expect to be just as warm this winter - In the rooms are heaters with hot water.
Thank you very much for your invitation to stay with you in Dorchester. It will be lovely to go back again and I want to go north next summer if possible. Mr. Howell asks me to thank you to for him. Much love to Aunt Teresa.
I am yours affectionately,
Nellie Davison Howell
The following letter was transcribed by Marlene Hickman and original is in her possession:
November 20, 1901
3 Crescent Avenue
Atlanta, GA
Dear Uncle John:
Many thanks for the $3000 which arrived safely. My husband wrote you at my request explaining why we telegraphed. I have not been at all well lately and am going tomorrow to Marietta for a weeks rest. You remember perhaps I was there the first summer after I was married. I will take Alma and the nurse and Mr Howell is coming up to spend Sunday. I include the receipt you sent me to sign. Give my love to Aunt Teresa. Hoping to see you next summer.
I remain, yours affectionately,
Nellie Davison Howell
JSH note: See Joseph Hickman's will - the $3,000 referenced in the above letter is probably the $3,000 left to Nellie by her grandfather Joseph Hickman in his will - to be given to her on her 21st birthday. Nellie was 21 on 9 Nov 1901.
References to Nellie in her father's (E.D. Davison, Jr.) diary as follows:
22 March 1902 - "Sent draft for $400.00 w on N.Y. to Nellie at Atlanta today." (this amount converts to about $ 8,300 in 2004 dollar terms.)
13 May 1902 - "Nellie arrived home from Atlanta, via Amhurst, today"
(ed. Her father died in July 1902)
Notes from J. Spencer Howell:
"Nellie's grandchildren called her Granny Zippo. I met her once -- in Mexico City in early 1936."
"Her half brothers were Ned (Edward) and Budd Davison. Both brothers were much younger than Nellie and lived in Canada."
"Nellie's family was in the lumber business in Nova Scotia, Canada."
"Nellie took piano lessons from Henry Howell"
"Nellie moved to Vienna, Austria with her two children."
"In 1940 John E. Howell went to Austria to try and convice his mother Nellie into living with his family in Puerto Rico to avoid the coming war in Europe -- she declined."
Notes from conversation with Helen STITH Howell
"we knew her as Granny Zippo"
"Nellie eloped with Henry, and then they moved to Georgia"
"Nellie's father disapproved of the marriage to Henry"
"She was married to Hans Schmidt, an Austrian, when she died"
Notes from a conversation with Catherine Doran Davison Leavitt, Aug 2005:
Dad, Claire, Susan and I visited with Catherine Doran Davison (m1. Rooke m2 Leavitt) at her home in Halifax - July 2005. She remembers Nellie Davison Howell as "a very beautiful woman". Catherine recalled a dinner party in Bridgewater at Frank Davison's home, where Nellie attended with her husband "The Baron" (Grunenburger probably). The Baron apparently made quite a fuss over the fact that the table was set for 13 people, and would not sit down until a 14th was found. Catherine remembers her mother running home to get her brother as the 14th.
Catherine recalls, "Nellie was sent to Europe due to consumption"
From "Austria As Theater and Ideology: The Meaning of the Salzburg Festival:"
P. 67 "Hofmannsthal drafted list after list of potential committee members. Although one cannot simply assume that every figure to appear on one of his lists actually joined, there is no evidence that anyone refused an invitation to do so since invitations were always worded in flattering terms and did not formally obligate recipients to contribute financially to the cause. (The available evidnence suggests that only one respondent, Lord Haldane, joined on the explicit condition that he not be obliged to contribute money.) Hofmannsthal's list for the Austrian contingent included Andrian, Thurn und Taxis, Colloredo, Franckenstein, Madame Nelly Grunberger..."
Hal Lathrop telephone conversation notes 20 Aug 2005:
"Skipper (Harold D. 'Budd' Davison) told me that she was buried somewhere in Germany, but her grave was bombed in the war and was destroyed. I seem to remember she died of consumption"
Other notes:
Upon her death in 1942, her husband, Hans Schmidt, wrote a letter from Austria to her son John, informing him of her death.
Referred to as "Ella M. Davison" in "History of the Descendants of John Whitman of Weymouth, MA" [27, 28, 29]
