    George's son Eldon's Bible has a list of all the chdilren, including a girl named Ester [Esther?], reported with a birth date in 1901.  But she never appears in any records.  She must have died before the 1910 census.  She is also lacking from family genealogies i have seen.  According to the birth dates, she was the first child born, but the last listed.  This may also be an indication she had died young and was written in at the end.
