Death of James Estes
Brandenburg, Ky., November 26:
     Mr. James Estes, for years a citizen of this place, but late of 
Louisville, died there last Thursday at Norton Infirmary where his daughters 
had him for the best medical attention and nursing.  Mr. Estes was in his 83rd 
year, and had been unusually well this fall 'til almost two weeks before his 
death he suffered from vertigo, fell and fractured his hip.  For months he had 
read the Bible very earnestly, and was often found engaged in fervent prayers.  
He realized from the first that his days were numbered, and passed away as 
quietly and peacefully as a child fully satisfied.
     His daughters, Miss Jennie Estes and Mrs. Tennie Sargent gave him every 
care and attention always.  His remains were interred here last Friday, the 
services being conducted from the Baptist Church by the Masons.
     His first wife was Miss Dowdy, an aunt of Mrs. Abe Ditto.  His 2nd, a 
sister of Mrs. J. D. Richardson, both sleeping in our cemetery.  Mr. Estes was 
an honest, kind-hearted man and very industrious, never forgetting old friends 
and often spoke of many of them here.  Sympathy to the bereaved ones.
