ROLLIN ESTES DIES AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS 
(from Saturday's daily) 

Rollin Estes, who yesterday was mentioned as having been taken
to the local hospital for treatment for pneumonia passed away
at half past seven o'clock this morning. He was taken ill
after returning Tuesday from a stay of nearly two weeks in
Chicago, and at first his condition was not deemed alarming.
He lapsed into unconsciousness last evening and did not regain
consciusness before he died. 

Funeral arrangements have not been fully completed, it is
thought that it will take place Tuesday afternoon at the Estes
farm home. Rev. W. J. McKay, of Madison, probably will
officiate, and interment will follow on the family lot in the
Wheeler Prairie Cemetery. 

The deceased was the only surviving son of Captain John M.
Estes, who is himself now quite feeble and in poor health. He
was born April 19, 1878, on the old Estes homestead east of
town. Surviving him besides his aged father, are two sisters,
Mrs. J.A. Roberts and Mrs. Roy Coon.
