ESTELLA LOUISE OGILVIE - 1887 or 1889 - ?

Estella followed Ma to Panama - not really sure about that but she was in Panama with Ma, got married in 1910 to William Ogilvie (1893-1977), a man from St Thomas and had a daughter named Eleanor Louise in 1915.

William and Pa left Panama in 1918 to come to NY and in 1919 Estella followed with her 4 year old daughter, Louise.  They went to Harlem to stay with Hellen Mowatt on W147th Street - see lines 7 & 8


After that they settled in Harlem on Lenox Avenue almost around the corner from W147th Street.
Then in 1938 Estella and Louise applied for citizenship see picture of Louise:
