Don't know if you are still seeking information - I'm not a Willetts but came across this post because Ethel Willetts' name came up in a letter between my grandmother and great-aunt.
My grandmother lived in Dover Township, Ontario, Canada and had been deathly ill for several years.Near the end, her sister-in-law, who lived in Detroit, Michigan, wrote the following:"Would you like to get in touch with Mrs. Ethel R. Willetts the Evangilist woman.There is many rich people send her handkerchiefs and she annoints and blesses them and sends them back to the sick and the Lord raises them up off their bed of sickness.I'll send you her address and you can have Jeanie to write to her and send your handkerchief.Her address is Mrs. Ethel R. Willetts, 5939 (no street), Cleveland, Ohio."The letter is dated May 9, 1938 - my grandmother passed away June 3, 1938.Whether she ever wrote I can't say.
Don't know if this is of interest to you, but I'd never heard of Mrs. Willetts until reading this old letter.Her following apparently extended into Canada, though I don't know if she ever spoke there.
Best,
Catherine Blount
