She also attended the Troy (N.Y.) Female Seminary for a year, graduating in June 1855, where she delivered one of her poems. Ellen Louise married, on 27 August 1855, William Upham Moulton ( -1898) and settled in Boston, Mass. They had two children: Florence (1859- ), who married William H. Schaefer ( - ); and William C. (1861-1861), who died in infancy.
