In the following passage, the phrase "Ella supported her husband throughout his career and cared for him when he was ill" strikes me as awkward:

In November 1874, Post married Ella Letitia Merriweather; they had one daughter. Ella supported her husband throughout his career and cared for him when he was ill. As Post became wealthier and began spending more time away from Ella, who was often ill, he slowly drifted away from her. Against her wishes, Post separated from her in 1904 and married his second wife ...

Post's career (and ill health) continued after his separation (and presumed divorce). Did Ella in fact support her CW after their separation? This seems unlikely. Or did the support end with their separation? This seems likely; but I don't know.

This question is complicated by the combined sentence "supported her husband throughout his career and cared for him when he was ill", and hangs on the same issue: did she care for him after their separation, or not?

If the answer is no, she did not care for him after their separation, then the phrase should be rewritten something like:

"Ella supported her husband in his career, and cared for him when he was ill, throughout their marriage."
