Estes Family
from Bonnie Estes Danner, Maryville, Missouri [1981]

Byron Edward Estes was born Mar 24, 1894 to Ed & Rose Estes. They lived just south and west of Siam [Page Co, Iowa] at the time of her death in 1896. They lived on the place owned by Abijah and Martha Fine Wilder. When Rose Estes died my father was about 2 years old. He was given to the Wilders to raise. He lived with them until he was a young man.

Byron attended the Pine School, and the Wilders lived in Shambaugh, Ia.

Byron later came down around the Graham, Mo area and went to work for my grandfather Milt Wilson. This is where he met and married my mother Zelma Faye Wilson.

My father has been gone since 1935 and my mother has passed away also.
