Estelle F. Cheney (1863-1900) was born in Barre, Vermont, and died in Haverhill, New Hampshire. Cheney studied Christian Science with Albert B. Dorman in April 1885 and moved to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, later that year. While there, she purchased multiple copies of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures from Mary Baker Eddy and worked as a healer. Although she expressed an interest in studying with Eddy, there is no record of her doing so. She graduated from the Emerson School of Oratory in Boston, Massachusetts, in the late 1880s and worked as an elocutionist in Montreal in 1890. By 1897 she had moved to Haverhill, where she worked as a merchant selling millinery and ladies' furnishing goods. She belonged to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and was a member of the Bright Star Rebekah Lodge No. 18 of Barre, Vermont.
