ESTES.-Died, April 19, 1887, of diabetis. He had been going down for about two months, when the angel of death came and relieved him of all the afflictions of this life. Richard C. Estes was born Feb. 14, 1811, in Henry county, Cross Plains, Ky., joined the Missionary Baptist Church in Hancock county, about 40 years ago. Has a letter from that brotherhood, and has always held to that belief up to the time of his death. There being no congregation of that church in his neighborhood, he never put his letter in any other, though he gave his moral support to all truly religious and pious persons, and when he thought it proper his financial support.
He was one of Mills county's oldest citizens, living on his farm 35 years. He came here poor, and by honesty, industry, and economy, he provided a large family of children each a good farm, and left a competency for the widow that survives him. As a citizen he was loyal and patriotic, as a neighbor accommodating and hospitable. A kind husband and an affectionate father, within an induring hope that reaches within the vail.
The funeral sermon was preached by the writer, April 21, at 11 o'clock a.m., from Heb. 2-6, "What is man that thou art mindful of him?" And many bore testimony to the worth and excellence of the deceased. The bereaved family has the entire sympathy of the community.
