Governess Della HottelThree years before Miss Ariel Idella Hottel moved in 1896 from Winchester, Virginia, to Marianna, Arkansas, she was employed from 1892-93 in Frederiksted, St. Croix, as a governess in the family of Major William F. Moore, the American Consul to the Danish West Indies. Miss Hottel (“Della”) served as instructor and companion for the Major and Mrs. Moore’s five children: Edith, 17; Tillie, 15; Nina, 11; Edna, 9; and Wilmerding, 6.
