The American Immigrant Wall of Honor Panel #733
for
John B. and Adeline Esgar
Early in the fall of 1893 John B. returned to England, where he found employment at Kelvedon, Essex, England. It was not by accident that he renewed his acquaintance with Adeline Hicks who was also employed there. He courted her throughout the winter and on March 14, 1894 they were married in the Kelvedon Parish Church. After the ceremony a reception was held in their honor at Coggeshall Hall, the home of Adeline's parents, Herbert Timperley and Mary Archer Hicks.
March 26 1894 they arrived in the United States on their honeymoon, spending some time at Niagara Falls, New York before setting up house keeping and starting to farm near Estherville, Iowa.
