Their daughter Emma L. Lord married Jones Woodson Estes on Feb. 20, 1895 at Hamburg; Emma (Lord) Estes died May 4, 1920 in Seattle, Washington. Her sister was Ettie J. who married Geo. Will Kuhn on Dec. 31` 1891 who was the son of Frederick and Mary A. (Barbour) Kuhn. Another record I have says that G.W. Kuhn and wife Ettie had a son who was born on Nov. 18, 1898 in Prairie township: "Born to Mr. and Mrs. Will Kuhns of Prairie township, Friday morning, Nov. 18, a fine boy. The little fellow had a hard time Sat. to live, but at this time all are doing well." Oh yes, the FREMONT COUNTY HERALD of January 7, 1892 carried this bit: "Riverton.--Wm. Kune (sic) and Miss Lord, a niece of Mr. Dunn's, were married at the residence of Mr. Dunn, Thursday evening. Dec. 31, Rev. Washburn, of Mt. Pleasant officiating. Mr.Kune is one of Prairie township's best young men and Miss Lord is a charming young lady. We wish the young people all the happiness the constitution of the United States grants any newly married couple and we are here to assist in making their life still more happy." A note from the Herald of Jan. 7, 1892 reads: "Riverton.--Mr. Phillips and Miss Stella Kune (sic), of Prairie township, were married at the residence of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kune, a short time since. Let joy go unconfined is our prayer." A note from the Herald of Feb. 20, 1902 reads: "Riverton.--Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Jones W. Estes, Tuesday, at 1:30 p.m., a fine male son of the usual proportions. All as happy as the company who sat under the Juniper tree years and years ago. May they grow and get fat, live long to ripe old age and die happy." (This was their son Eugene Burnett Estes, born Feb. 18, 1902 at Riverton.).....Mrs. Jones Woodson Estes died May 4, 1920 at Seattle, Washington. A notice I have, dated 1940, says she was the daughter of Eva I Lord, 87 years old, of Spring Valley, San Diego county, California. (The Estes family had discovered Estes Park, so well known in Colorado, later sold out and some returned to Fremont county, and then moved to Seattle.) Besides Jones Woodson Estes, there was Louella C. (Estes) Hatton, wife of Dr. Hatton, the correspondent from Riverton to the Sidney Herald, and that is probably the reason for so much information being in the Riverton news in that paper. The Fremont County Herald of October 5, 1899 says: "Mrs. Fred Kuhn of Prairie township, was stricken suddenly Friday afternoon with apoplexy and died at 9 a.m. the following day, never regaining consciousness. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon. She was buried in the Farragut cemetery. The family have the sympathy of everyone, as she was well known to all and a good woman." I have another clipping from the Herald: "Fred Kuhn Laid to Rest.--The remains of Fred Kuhn who died in Seattle, Washington, on September 27 were brought to Farragut and there on the 5th inst., were laid to rest in the cemetery of that place. The funeral was from the Christian church and conducted by the pastor, Rev. Branic. Deceased had reached the age of 84 years, 4 months and 7 days. He came to Femont county in 1874 and for many years was a resident of Prairie township. Two daughters and one son are left to mourn the loss of a kind and honorable father besides many friends and neighbors who join these in sympathy."
