La Viere's obituary from The Sterling Daily Gazette, Oct., 29, 1930, pg. 6, column 6. Note the difference in spelling of his first name, from cemetery records that I recorded from for his memorial on this site.
"LAVERE COOLEY EASTABROOKS - The funeral services of La Vere Estabrooks, who passed away in Chicago Wednesday [10/29/1930] morning after an illness of two yeas, were held Friday afternoon at 2:30 at the Shirk funeral chapter in Milledgeville. Interment was in the Elkhorn cemetery. Mr. Estabrooks is a brother of Mrs. Ralph Gillogly of Savanna and of Harold Estabrooks of Nelson. He submitted to an operation last July and death was due to cancer. La Vere Cooley Estabrooks was born in Chicago Jan. 17, 1885, the son of George and Gertrude Steffens Estabrooks. His home was in Columbus, O., for many years until his health began to fail two years ago. Surviving him are his parents who live in Rockford, his wife, and daughter, Mary Jane, three brothers, Frisbie and George of Rockford, and Harold of Nelson, Ill., and five sisters, Lucille, Josephine and Florence, all of Rockford, Ruth, of Washington, D. C., and Mrs. Ralph Gillogly nee Gertrude Estabrooks, of Savanna."
