The Cairo Messenger, February 7th, 1930
Mr. J. W. Hester Dies Tuesday Morning After Illness

Mr. Joe W. Hester, an esteemed citizen of Grady county, passed away at his home 
7 miles north of Cairo last Tuesday morning, February 4th, at 7 o'clock, 
following an illness of several days.  A complication of troubles, from which 
he had suffered for some time, caused his death.  He was slightly more than 70 
years of age.

Mr. Hester was born and spent his entire life in this immediate section.  He 
united with the Primitive Baptist Church early in life and was devoted to his 
faith until his death.  He was married to Miss Addie Bell Moore on December 
12th, 1888, and to this union four children were born, two of whom survive.

The funeral and interment were at Long Branch, one mile north of Cairo on 
Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock, with Elder Josh Davis in charge.

Surviving, besides his two children, Mr. Anderson Hester and Mrs. Paul Bond, of 
this county, are three sisters:  Mrs. Sallie Cone, of Meigs, Mrs. Mary Collins, 
of Bonifay, Fla., and Mrs. Malinda Jordan, of Moultrie.
