Aged 85 years, 10 Months and 18 Days. The foremost citizen of St. Landry parish, passed away in the death of this great and good man. Here he lived for the greater part of his life and whatever else may be said of him, it is quite certain that he merited and deserved the respect and esteem of all men - Judge Estelette was a gentleman of the old school and he had the respect and friendship of every man, woman and child in this city. He was loved for his kindly disposition, for his unbounded charity and humanitarism. truly we can say that Opelousas has lost one of her best citizens, St. Landry has been deprived of one of her best beloved sons, and the legal profession the highest luminary of the profession. Later on we propose to give a history of the career of Judge Estelette, what he has accomplished and done. The funeral will take place from the residence of Isaac Litton this morning (Saturday) at 11 o'clock. Services will be at the Episcopal Church and interment in the Protestant cemetery.
