  Maude Mussett {Muzette, Muzette, or Muzzette} Moffat, daughter of Cyrus and 
  Helen Moffat, was born June 24, 1879 in Dixon {Lee County} Illinois, moved to 
  Thomas {Custer County}, Oklahoma with her parents about 1897. She was married 
  to Manley T. Estes and moved to Leedey, Oklahoma on their homestead.

  To this union was born three children, 2 daughters, Mrs. Fern Williams of 
  Oden, Arkansas, and Mrs. Ruby Sisk of Oklahoma City, and a son, Cyrus Lennard 
  Estes of Gardena, California.

  They later moved to their present home in Thomas, Oklahoma.

  Other survivors are a sister, Mrs. Grace Delaney of Oden, Arkansas and a brother 
  Edgar C. Moffat of Kremmling, Colorado and 3 grandchildren, Deloris {Dolorese}, 
  Vera, and Ike Sisk of Oklahoma City and other relatives and nieces and nephew.

  Mrs. Estes was united with the Congregational Church early in life, and was loved 
  by all who knew her.

  She moved from her earthly house to her spiritual home, May 29, 1947 at the age of 
  67 years, 11 months, and 26 days.

  NOTE: Fern was not actually a daughter of Maude and Manley Estes. We are trying to 
  clear up this mystery. A now 97-year-old cousin says that Fern's father was a 
  Mr. Hubbard, whose son was an Attorney in the Lexington, OK, area.
