Not Worth Much in 1912

Found a listing of the Merrick Security and Trust Company's Credit Guide and Directory for September 1912. Isiah Biddle is correctly listed as 60 years old, but his wife's name is Ella. He's also listed as the Justice of the Peace. Two firms rate him as "prompt to pay" but his total estimated worth is rated less than $300.
The only thing that confuses me is the wife's name. I'm not sure how you get Ella out of Sara Catherine Pearse but I really have little info on her.
