Last Tuesday, August 26, 1924 a telegram was received by Earl, living ten miles northwest of Rankin, Oklahoma saying that Mrs. Estes was dying in Hot Springs, Arkansas, where she had gone for treatment of cancer of the liver. Their oldest daughter, Juanetta left that same evening for Arkansas, and with the youngest daughter Evelyn, brought the corpse home last Saturday, by way of Elk City, Oklahoma.

The funeral services were held the next day, Sunday noon, August 31, 1924 at the Rankin Methodist Church, conducted by her pastor, Elder George F. Martin of Dempsey, Oklahoma, and burial in the Rankin cemetery {now White Rose} near Reydon, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma.

She was married to Earl Estes on April 29, 1894.
