Early life[edit]
Ethel Flora Fortune was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada on September 22, 1883. She was the second daughter and third child of Mark and Mary Fortune. Her parents, Mark and Mary, invited her to join them and her younger siblings on a Grand Tour of Europe. She had 3 younger siblings, Alice Elizabeth (b. May 10, 1887), Mabel Helen (b. November 3, 1888) and Charles Alexander (b. October 13, 1892). Ethel's two elder siblings Robert William H. (b. July 1, 1877; d. Dec 28, 1965) and Clara Alma (b. Aug 2, 1879; d. 1964) did not accompany the rest of the family on their tour. Ethel was engaged to Crawford Gordon I, a rising Winnipeg banker. Ethel agreed to postpone her wedding so that she could shop for a trousseau in Europe and chaperone her younger siblings. She bought gowns from the leading fashion house, Worth, in Paris.
