The name of another of Mills county's oldest and most honored citizens must be added to the roll of those whom the Grim Reaper has has claimed for his own. On Wednesday evening, Nov. 22d, Mr. Wm. M. Estes departed this life after an illness lasting but three days. His ailment was disease of the stomach, a foe whose insidious encroaches he has had to combat for many years past. His death occured at his residence three miles south of the city.
Mr. Estes was born in Hancock county, Kentucky, Dec. 12th, 1836, and when a child moved from that state with his parents to Gentry county, Missouri, and from that place he moved to Mills county in 1852. He was married to Hester Linville, April 25, 1861, who together with seven children survive him. He has been actively identified with the best interests of the county ever since reaching the age of manhood and has stood for all that is represented by solid and substantial citizenship. He was highly respected by all who knew him for his scrupulous honesty and integrity and leaves behind him a record that is unmarred by a single debt unpaid or an obligation unfulfilled. His death is a terrible blow to the wife and children to whom he has sustained such tender and loving relations, and he will be sincerely mourned by his many friends and neighbors in whose esteem he has so long been held.
The funeral services were held at his late residence last Friday afternoon at one o'clock, being conducted by his old friend and former pastor, Rev. J.D. McClure, of Albany, Mo. Immediately after the services the sorrowful procession of relatives and friends took its way to the Pleasant Hill cemetery where the remains were interred.
