Jane: Estelle Branham may have been a relative of Mrs. Thomas McCrary of New Market, AL.. I know that Estelle was a reporter of New Market news for the local newspaper (1888?)..I believe she was active in the Methodist Church at New Market..if I am not mistaken, several copies of the old New Market Newspaper was discovered in the attic of one on the old houses..they are on file in the Heritage Room of the Huntsville Madison Co Public Library. Old Huntsville Magazine has printed tidbits ofNew Market news from these old newspapers.. I think Estelle's house sat near the present New Market Post Office. Volumes One and Two of the History of New Market, by the Volunteer Fire Department are a great source of information. (H'ville Library).. You might want to visit the oldhuntsville.com magazine website as well. It has a tremendous wealth of information and stories online!
