SAMUEL JOSEPH ESTES, M. D.
    Dr. Samuel Joseph Estes, physician and surgeon of Little Rock, who has
practiced in this city since 1915, was born at Holly Springs, Mississippi,
August 27, 1874, and was a lad of but seven years when his parents removed to
Denmark, Tennessee, there taking up their abode in 1881. He is a son of Robert
Fenner and Mattie Emma (Sharp) Estes. The father's birth occurred in Jackson,
Tennessee, in 1841, and the mother was born in Wall Hill, Mississippi, in 1850.
They were married in the year 1866 at Wall Hill and became parents of three sons
and a daughter, all of whom are living. The wife and mother, however, died in
March, 1910. The father resides at Brownsville, Tennessee. He has always been a
democrat in his political views and he was a soldier of the Civil war, serving
as a captain in Forrest's command. He was with the Confederate troops for four
years and was captured at the battle of Fort Donelson, but soon afterward made
his escape.

    Dr. Estes was largely reared in Denmark, Tennessee, where he pursued his
education until graduated from the high school with the class of 1895. At a
later period he attended the Mississippi State Normal School at Iuka and there
won the degree of Bachelor of Science as a member of the class of 1898. He was
graduated in medicine in 1902 from the Memphis Hospital Medical College and in
the following year he did postgraduate work in Memphis. Since that time he has
continuously practiced his profession and has made his home in Little Rock since
1915. His success has resulted from close application, broad study, careful
analysis and a sympathetic nature that enables him readily to win the confidence
of his patrons. Wide reading has kept him informed concerning the latest
scientific researches and discoveries and he is quick to adapt his knowledge to
specific needs. He is conceded by the profession, not only in Little Rock but
throughout the South as an especially fine diagnostician.

    On the 10th of May, 1901, Dr. Estes was married to Miss Sallie Bobbitt, who
was born in Lorado, Arkansas, June 10, 1883, and was graduated from the high
school there. The children of this marriage are: Donald Bobbitt, who was born in
1904; Everett Edward, born in 1906; Alma Estelle, born in 1908; and Samuel
James, born in 1915.

    Dr. Estes always votes with the democratic party, which he has supported
since age conferred upon him the right of franchise. His religious faith is that
of the Methodist denomination, his membership being in the Highland Methodist
Episcopal church, South, in which he is serving as a member of the board of
stewards. Fraternally he has wide connections. He is a thirty-second degree
Scottish Rite Mason and member of the Mystic Shrine, is a past master of Lorado
Lodge. No. 241, I. O. O. F., and is also a representative of the Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks. He is greatly interested in the good road movement and
does everything in his power to advance improvement along that line. He finds
his recreation in outdoor life and is fond of all manly sports. These things,
however, are not allowed to interfere with the faithful performance of every
professional duty that devolves upon him and he is an esteemed and valued member
of the Pulaski County Medical Society, the Arkansas State Medical Society, the
Tri-State Medical Association and the American Medical Association.
