Margarete Cope Estes was born September 3rd, 1844, was married to J.E. Estes January 14th, 1866. To this union were born 12 children, 9 boys and three girls. One son died quite young. She professed faith in Christ and joined the Old Savannah Baptist church January 23, 1890. She lived a most consecrated Christian until the end, which came Sunday morning, April 6th, 1924.
Mrs. Estes had been in ill health for some time but was thought to be better until a few days before the end came. She leaves behind her 11 children, 2 brothers and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. J.E. Estes, the father and husband, was called away about 12 years ago. As a christian, a neighbor and a mother, being a standard bearer in the home and community, she will be sorely missed. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. R.W. Green. She was laid to rest in the Old Savannah cemetery to await the dawn of the resurrection morn.
