Facts and Events
Obituary from Stockbridge paper 17 Feb 1938 Esther Ann Willmore, daughter of Thomas and Ellen Willmore of Waterloo Township, Jackson County, Michigan, was born Nov. 2, 1851 and remained on the farm until May 7, 1875, when with her parents she took up her residence in Jackson City where she lived until Nov. 23, 1881 when she was united in marriage to William Henry Mapes of Gorham, N.Y. She lived in Gorham until after her husband's death, Dec. 17, 1909. She then came to Jackson to care for an invalid sister until her sister's death, June 8, 1910. She then visited relatives in Oklahoma and New York until Jan. 12, 1912 when she established her home in Stockbridge where she lived until her death Feb. 13, 1939. She has always been a member of the Episcopal Church but owing to the absence of a local Episcopal parish, she has since living here, been a regular attendant and an active worker in the Presbyterian Church. She was an active member of both the Eastern Star and Rebecca Lodges of this village. She is the last of a family of seven children and leaves eleven nieces and nephews and many friends. The relatives in Oklahoma referred to in the obituary were her sister Victoria and her family. As to family in New York, Archie Klein, son of her sister Sarah, lived in Olcott, Niagra, NY - I don't know if he was there during that time period. Of course, she could have been visiting relatives of her husband. References
