Her death greatly grieved her father...he had a very difficult time. This little one was given the name of her mother. She was the 2nd of their children to die young. At the time of her death, her mother was again expecting a child to be born in mid-July 1914.

I remember my mother telling me about the death of this toddler who was her baby sister. How it frustrated her father to watch his wife and mother of this child appear not to be grieving. Finally in her own defense, she expressed to her husband, I still have so many to care for every day ~ it takes all of my person and being to carry on ~ I have no time to take care of me, nor time to feel the deepth of my loss.

During their thirteen years of marriage, she had given birth to eight children ~ now having two of them taken in death and another to deliver in less than six months. Daily country living was not easy. Little Estella was Stella to her family ~ a rosebud here to bloom in Heaven. Her death was difficult for all of her immediate family as well as the many extended family members also living in Ramah.

In lieu of Estella's personal picture since none exist, the
picture of her little bronzed shoe is posted as part of her memorial...not bronzed until 1940 three years after the death of her father and 5 years before the death of her mother.
