  This appears to be the former Estelle Barbour (1878-1960) who was born in Wethersfield, Connecticut, and grew up in Grosse Pointe Farms, near Detroit. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Barbour, her father was a Detroit manufacturer. [1] [2] Estelle Barbour married George S. Stillman of New York City, in Detroit on April 24, 1906. George Schley Stillman (1879–1907), a son of J.F. Stillman of New York City, "was an American football player and coach. He played college football at Yale University where he was selected as a first-team All-American at the tackle position in both 1899 and 1900. Stillman coached the 1901 Yale football team to a record of 11–1–1. The team was later recognized as a national champion by Parke H. Davis." –Wikipedia Married less than a year, George Stillman died of meningitis in 1907 after contracting typhoid fever. Twenty three years later Mrs. Estelle Barbour Stillman married Hobart C. Chatfield-Taylor (1865-1945) of Santa Barbara, California, on June 23, 1920. She was 45 at the time, he was 55. Long prominent in Chicago society, Hobart Chatfield-Taylor was an author of several novels. His first wife, the late Rose Farwell, was the daughter of the late United States Senator Farwell, of Illinois, and Rose and Estelle were long-time friends. A wedding-day photograph of Mr. and Mrs. Hobart C. Chatfield-Taylor taken as they left the church appeared in The New York Tribune. –LOC Chronicling America, [3]
