OriginalNotes: David Kirkpatrick, feedback on Directory of Indiana Photographers web page, August 4, 2021:
"Estella May Kirkpatrick was born in Koleen, Greene Co., Indiana on March 01, 1878.
William D. Kirkpatrick, feedback on Directory of Indiana Photographers web page, August 4, 2021.
Her parents were William and Amande Jane "Pool" Kirkpatrick.
Estella married Benjamin Franklin Watson in 1894 in Greene Co., Indiana.
Benjamin Watson was born 08 Dec. 1870. Benjamin died on 30 Dec. 1926 in Brazil, Clay Co., Indiana.
Both are buried in the Summit Lawn Ce. in Clay Co., Indiana
It is my understanding that Estella was the first woman to own her own business in Clay County.
I also understand some of her photos ate in the Clay County, Indiana Historical Society at Brazil, Clay County, Indiana.
I have attached a few photos related to Benjamin and Estella May "Kirkpatrick" Watson. One photo is of Benjamin and Estella and their two sons."
