NoteNote: Swan Creek is a corruption of the Maliseet 'Shouankik', meaning' Cranberry Bog'. The Indians still come there in the fall of the year to gather cranberries. (Emma Estabrooks copied the below for Florence C. Estabrooks from The Registry Office). Dec. 18, 1797 John Estabrooks bought lot no. 6 from James Webber. In1811 John Estabrooks bought lot No. 8 from Sam Hart and also lot no. 9 for £350. In 1825 John Estabrooks bought land from Dr. Cushi Hatheway adjoining James Taylor and Reuben Hoben, Jr. He also bought land from Thomas Hatheway. This is probably Isaac Estabrooks' farm. In Mar. 1827, John Estabrooks sold lot no. 9 of his land to William, his son, for about £300. In 1851, John Estabrooks, for £200 sold to his son Abram Estabrooks the land known as the Hart lot no. 8. Abram afterwards sold this land to Stephen Watson. John Estabrooks obtained a large grant of land in the original grant out near Lake Maquapit, Parish of Sheffield in 1809. On Dec.18, 1797 he bought land near Swan Creek in the Parish of Burton (lot no. 6) from James Weber. He evidently had worked this land prior to buying it. He continued buying land in this vicinity until he owned a great deal. He built the first frame house in this section of the country. It now forms the ell of the old homestead. It was here that his father, Elijah Estabrooks, died. John Estabrooks occasionally acted as itinerant Baptist preacher, traveling around the country on horseback. He died Feb 2, 1861. His will is in the record office at Oromocto. His death is commemorated in a poem in 'New Brunswick and other Poems' published by David Palmer in 1869. Catherine, his wife, died July 26, 1865.

Article appearing in The Rifle Telegram May 26, 1932 - "A Community Loss by Walter Lawson Wilder. The people of the Rifle community have suffered a real loss by the accidental death of Robert Walker, local manager of the Mountain States Telephone Company. In his official position Mr. Walker came into contact with every business man of Rifle and with nearly every adult resident of Western Garfield County. His uniform good-nature, courtesy, and sincere spirit of helpfulness made for him a host of friends, and contributed in large measure to promote cordial relations between the people of this community and that public service corporation. It may be said with truth that every worthy cause of community interest might count upon the active support of Robert Walker. Always kind and generous as an individual he gave generously of his time and effort to matters of public service and thereby not only manifested his own character, but worthily represented a corporation that is held in high regard for its consideration of local community interests.

"As is usual in such cases, the number of Robert Walker's personal friends were greater than even he himself might have supposed. His departure is a community loss, and all the people share in the sorrow of this occasion."

Obituary in The Rifle Telegram June 9, 1932 - "IMPRESSIVE SERVICES FOR WALKER SUNDAY.

Funeral services for Robert W. Walker, manager of the local telephone exchange, who was drowned in the Colorado river on May 30, were held at the Sayre funeral home Sunday afternoon. Rev. O B. Duckworth was in charge and he based his well-chosen words of comfort on the thought derived from Edgar A Guest's, "What I Call Living" and "If This Were All" and James Whitcomb Riley's marvelous poem "The Onward Trail".

"A male quartet from Clifton composed of Leslie Hall, Earl Hart, O. G. Brown and Bob Burkhalter sang "Mother Machree" and "City of God" and "Just Beyond".

"Pallbearers were Jack Munro, Miles Barrett, Fred Dunham, Hubert Burch, Ed Webb, Bert Taylor, E P. Brown and Luther Watt and interment was made in Rosehill cemetery.

"Robert Walton Walker, age 46 years, 5 months and 22 days, was born in Nathrope, Colo., on September 22, 1885. He was the oldest son in a family of seven children and from the time of the death of his father, Thomas Carol Walker, in September 1900, he was the sole support of his mother and the other children. His mother, Mrs. Mary Hawkins Walker, died in July, 1913.

"At an early age Mr. Walker moved to Leadville, Colo., where he was engaged in various mining activities until 1907, after which he was an electrical worker until 1911. In that year he moved to Mesa. Colo., where he was married on February 4, 1913, to Miss Mabel Gilbreath. Since June, 1918, he has been employed by the 9 Mountain States Telephone company, and by performing his duties faithfully and well was rapidly promoted to the position of manager.

"He was very active in this community, being one of the most enthusiastic members of the chamber of commerce, a member of the Apple Pie day committee for a number of years, and one of the organizers of the Rifle Relief association. Rifle has indeed lost one who has devoted much time and thought to the welfare of this community, and a friend to everyone and the profusion of floral offerings manifested the high esteem in which he was held by his friends and neighbors as well as by the company in whose employ he met his death two weeks ago Friday while trying to remove the wires from a telephone pole in the center of the river near Antlers. His wife, as well as many friends saw the boat overturn in which he and his helper, Joe Secord, were riding and the two men thrown into the swollen river. Walker was unable to swim, and it was only a few minutes until he was swept downward with the current and seen no more of until 11 days later when his body was found by Bert Evans on a little island three miles below Rulison.

"Mr. Walker is survived by his wife, Mabel; two sons, Robert Lee, 18 and Merle Elroy, 13; a sister, Mrs. Frank Heely of Wilmington, Cal.; and a brother, Gavin L Walker of Portland, Oregon."

BurialHe was buried in Rose Hill Cemetery; Sec. N 1/2S 1/2; Lot 22; Block 12, Rifle, Chaffee County, Colorado, USAG. Plot D-12-2202. There is no marker.6

OBITUARY

Upper Point de Bute, May 18 - An aged and esteemed resident of Upper Point de Bute passed away on Friday last when the death took place of Mrs. Alfred TINGLEY, after a lingering illness. The deceased lady was eighty years of age and her passing is mourned by a very wide circle of acquaintances. Mrs. Tingley is survived by her husband, three sons and three daughters. The daughters, who were with her at the time of her death, are Mrs. McKinney of Roslindale, Mrs. John Fawcett of Amherst, and Mrs. Bliss Oulton, of Jolicure. The sons are Messrs. Chas. and Harris Tingley of Boston, and Mr. Judson Tingley of Upper Point de Bute. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon and was very largely attended. Among those present were a number from Sackville and Amherst and outside points. At 2 o'clock the remains were taken to the Baptist Church, where service was held. Appropriate music was rendered by the choir. After the church service, many followed the remains to the grave. The pall-bearers were Messrs. J.K. Spence, Byron Atkinson, Frank Trueman, Charles Bowser. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful, silently testifying to the esteem in which Mrs. Tingley was so widely held. The officiating clergymen were Rev. R.J. Colpitts and Rev. C. Flemington. (From the Amherst Daily News newspaper, dated Tuesday, 19 May 1908, page 8.)1,3
