ADDISON W. ESTES



Sabine parish has never had a better citizen nor a more faithful public

servant than Mr. Estes.   He was born in this parish September 11, 1847. 

While still a young man he was crippled for life, but for many years

thereafter he followed farming and the saddle maker's trade.  He reared a

family of four girls and two boys, three of whom are still living.  His wife

died in 1902 and he was later married to Miss McDonald, daughter of Robert

McDonald, a pioneer of the parish, ad to that union two children have been

born.  In July, 1884, Mr. Estes was elected parish treasurer and has held that

position ever since.  In 1892 he was elected clerk of the Police Jury and

remained in that position until the present year, when he resigned and was

succeeded by W. G. Caldwell.  The esteem in which he is held by his fellow

citizens is best exemplified by his continuance in his public position.
