Description

Earl Linden Estep was the son of Crowell Ashby (1890-1958) and Eltie Virginia (Swartz) (1882-1965) Estep, from Quicksburg.

Earl’s WWII draft registration card revealed he was living with his parents and farming in Quicksburg when the war started.

Earl married Lelia Virginia Spitzer (1916-2002) in late July 1941 in Woodstock when he was just 21 years old. His new bride was a few years older, born in Rockingham County, and the daughter of Thomas Ira and Icey Iva (Gordon) Spitzer. She lived in Edinburg when they married.

During World War II, Earl served in the U.S. Army. After, he went back to farming. The 1950 census found him living with his wife in the area of Mt. Jackson.

He was buried in Zirkle Cemetery, New Market.
