This is the woman in question. Is there more information on additional family memebers related to Henry ,Ethel, and Rachel Foster.

I didn't locate any other information - such as a death for Ethel between 1930 and 1935, or Ethel in a census after 1930, there just wasn't enough there to go on.  As for Henry, on the the census it just listed his birthplace as 'United States' which was of no help in further searches.
