Ruth Alice Carrico was born on 23 Aug 1905 in Wild Cherry, Arkansas to Josiah Converse Carrico (1873-1957) and Celestia Alabama Caldonia Reese (1872-1948). Ruth is the fifth of seven children:
- Arval Arlando (1893-1971)
- Claude Randle (1896-1973)
- Bessie Myrtle (1898-1986)
- Ida Sylvester (1901-1997)
- Austin Rochester (my great grandfather;1908-1979)
- Alberta Mae (1912-2001)
Ruth married William Karr Estes (1905-1970) on 30 Jul 1925 in Izard, Arkansas. They had six children together: William Lavron (1926-1984), three other sons, and two daughters. It looks like William and Ruth divorced sometime around or before 1940 as the 1940's census has Ruth married to a man with the last name Odenbrett. William would go on to marry Ruth's sister Alberta
Ruth died on 28 May 1993 in Calico Rock, Arkansas at age 87 of a stroke.
