I am writing a collective biography of the 169 librarians who headed neighborhood branches of the New York Public Library, 1901-1950.

Two of them were sisters, Ellen Howard Tobey (1874-????) and Lillian Q. Tobey (1874-????) who were born in Maine. Their parents were Enoch G. and Mary Tobey.

Ellen resigned from NYPL in 1911 to be married and she became the second wife of Donald Banks Tobey (1879-????). His first wife had died in 1910. I don't believe that Lillian ever married.

I'd appreciate any information on any of these individuals.
