Family lifeBaxter was born in Roseisle, Moray, the daughter of a farmer, Andrew Adam, and his wife Elizabeth Farquar. She trained as a nurse and in 1914, tended a patient, William Baxter, whom she subsequently married. He was the son of George and Margaret Baxter, the founders of the original Baxters grocery shop in Fochabers.[1][2] CareerInitially a nurse, Baxter joined her husband in business, and in 1916 they opened a factory near the River Spey to make preserves from locally sourced products.[3] She then took charge of managing the factory, purchasing the fruit, hiring the workforce and devising new recipes.[1][2] Baxter's guidance ensured that the product range widened to include soups and canned and bottled fruits.[8] Her husband travelled widely, promoting the products, and the couple eventually began selling to customers in London, America and throughout the British Empire, including the royal household itself.[1][2] DeathBaxter died in 1963 in Elgin, Moray. She was 79.[4] References1. ^1 2 3 {{Cite web|url=http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/54540/54540?back=,54540|title=Oxford DNB article: Baxter, William Alexander|website=www.oxforddnb.com|access-date=2016-12-08}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Baxter, Ethel}}2. ^1 2 3 {{Cite web|url=http://womenofscotland.org.uk/women/ethelreda-baxter|title=Ethelreda Baxter {{!}} Mapping Memorials to Women in Scotland|website=womenofscotland.org.uk|access-date=2016-12-08}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.baxters.com/about-baxters/factory-built/|title=A New Factory|newspaper=Baxters|access-date=2016-12-08}} 4. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/usbiography/b/ethelbaxter.html|title=Ethel Baxter: Biography on Undiscovered Scotland|access-date=2016-12-08}} 4 : 1883 births|1963 deaths|Scottish business families|Scottish women in business |
