Ester was born about 1902, in Curwenville, Pennsylvania.
During the 1910 Census, Ester lived with her family in Poplar Bluff, Missouri.[1]
Ester, and her sister Ethel, are counted twice in the 1920 census. Once with her immediate family in Clark Township, Lincoln County, Missouri,[2] and once in Ward 22 of St. Louis, Missouri.[3] It is believed that this is because the two girls lived with an aunt and uncle, John and Emma Thomas, while attending school.
In 1926 Ester married George Wilcoxen in Red Oak, Iowa.[4]
The 1930 census shows Ester, George, and their young son George Wayne, living in St. Ferdinand Township, St. Louis, County, Missouri.[5][6]
She passed away before 1970, in St' Louis County, Missouri.
