| Notes for John Donald & Esther Leona (Family) |
"Esther Leona Davison was my grandmother. She was born near Antioch on 27 Sep 1895. The oldest child of Seth and Hattie Davison. She was raised on a ranch just outside of Antioch. Esther's mother Hattie died when Esther was a teenager and she was left to take over her mother's responsibilities in the home. She met and married John Bruns, a young man from a neighboring town, with a future of hope and promise. They were married on 21 Jul 1915. Four years later, John was tragically killed while helping a stranded motorist. The tractor he was driving flipped oved and on top of him as he was pulling the other man's car out of a ditch. Esther was left a widow
with two small children to raise. Life after John would not be easy for her. She married four more times, but never found another man to match her first love. Esther died in Concord, CA, on 14 Jan 1974."14 |
