Susan B. Estes, born November 17, 1838; departed this life April 8, 1926; age, eighty-seven years, four months and twenty-one days.

She was united in marriage to John W. Estes, January 16, 1858.

To this union were born eight children, five boys and three girls, four of whom, with her husband, preceded her to the great beyond. She professed hope in Christ more than fifty years ago, and united with Moore's Prairie Baptist church, where she retained her embership until death. Sister Estes was of a kind and affectionate disposition and to know her was to love her.

She leaves to mourn her departure, one brother, one sister, four sons, twenty-eight grandchildren; forty-six great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.

Sister Estes will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Funeral services conducted by the writer, April 18, at Pleasant View Baptist Church....F. L. Karn

Note from Sandy Bauer:
I believe this may be her marriage from the Illinois State Archives which shows slightly different month and day but same year.
