Dr. Everett A. WOOD

Everett married Estella PICKEN 1888. Estella (daughter of George T. PICKEN and Elizabeth REGER) was born 27 Aug 1862, Barbour, Virginia (now West Virginia); died 13 Oct 1900, Hancock, Illinois; was buried Greenwood Cemetery, Hamilton, Hancock, Illinois. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

According to Frank's daughter (our mother) May Hobart Zentmyer, Frank's aunt Stella Picken Wood and her husband Dr. Everett Wood raised Frank and his sisters in Sedalia, Missouri after the death of Frank's father Sidney, when he was seven years old. But it is more likely that Frank and his sisters were not taken in by the Woods until after the death of Frank's mother Elizabeth Picken Hobart in 1896. In fact, probate records state that the children were still living in Hancock County Illinois on 12 Feb 1896, shortly after their mother's death.
