Ethel Hudson (June 4, 1896, Salem, Massachusetts – September 7, 1992, Concord, New Hampshire) was the last surviving member of the Canterbury Shaker Village in New Hampshire.[1] Ethel Hudson was 11 years old when, in 1907, she and her older sister, Elizabeth, left a broken home in Salem, Massachusetts, and traveled by train and horse-drawn carriage to be raised and educated by the Shakers. Elizabeth left when she was 20, but Ethel stayed on as a member of the community.[2]
After Eldress Bertha Lindsay died in 1990, Ethel Hudson became the last Canterbury Shaker.[3] Hudson died in 1992, the 200th anniversary year of the founding of the Canterbury Shaker community.
