Clyde Enterprise 1/2/1913 Mrs. William G. Estill After a long and brave fight against disease, Mrs. W. G. Estill passed away at the family home on Buckeye street at 2:15 o'clock last Saturday afternoon. The funeral was held on Monday at 1:30, at the house, which was all too samll to hold the friends who came to pay the last poor tribute, Rev. Earl A. Miller of Clyde Presbyterian church, and Rev. Ralph W. Kohr, a former pastor, conducted the services, and the old familiar hymns were rendered by Miss Mollie Ames. At the conclusion of the services the remains were taken to McPherson cemetery for interment. There were no flowers, in deference to the expressed wish of Mrs. Estill. Jennie Wickwire Estill was born in York twonship, on her father's farm, forty-seven years ago last March, and had spent her entire life there and in the village of Clyde. She graduated from Clyde high school in the class of 1884, her death marks the first break in the class ranks. Twenty-six years ago, on Dec. 30th, the day of the funeal, occured her marriage to Wm. G. Estill. Four children came to them, all of who are living---Seba, Mary, Alice and Clara, all living at home. Besides these and the husband she leaves her aged father, Seba Wickwire, now in his 88th year; two brothers, Frank C. Wickwire of Clyde and Scott F. Wickwire of Florida; and two sisters, Mrs. I. J. Jordon and Mrs. L. M. Persing. Thus has closed the life of a model woman. None knew Jennie Estill but to love her, and many a heart is saddened by her death. Quiet and unassuming, she did a noble work in the community, and in her home, and in the church of her choice. In all the suffering that marked her last days she was patient and self-sacrificing, thinking only of the wlefare of the loved ones. Such a life as hers is an inspiration. It is a model that few people can follow. Among those from a distance who attended the funeral were Mrs. D. C. Curtis of Columbus, Mrs. H. T. Jaynes and Herbert Jaynes of Delaware, Rev. Samuel Heucker of Pemberville, Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Lewis of Swanton, Judge S. S. Richards and Miss Richards, H. A. Tiffany and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Veitch of Toledo, Mrs. W. A. Leiter of Lorain. |
