Mr. E. D. Estes, one of Cedartown's excellent citizens, passed away Thursday morning. While he had been in failing health for sometime, suffering with a heart trouble, the end came suddenly-as he and his physician had long expected. Mr. Estes was born in Floyd County sixty-four years ago, and twenty six years ago was united in marriage with Miss Georgia Hunt, of Silver Creek who survives to mourn the loss of a devoted husband. For forty-five years Mr. Estes had been an efficient railroad man, and for a number of years had been a conductor on the Central Railway. Quiet and unassuming, punctiliously honest, faithful in the discharge of every duty, he was highly esteemed by his comrades in the railway service and by all who knew him. Funeral services were conducted Friday morning by Rev. W. T. Hunnicutt, followed by interment in Greenwood cemetery. Mrs. Estes has the sympathy of all in her great loss. Among those who attended funeral services from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Gregory, Mrs. Earl E. Griggs and Mrs. S. B. Elliott, of Atlanta; Mrs. Lizzie Hunt and sons and Miss Fronnie Green of Silver Creek; Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Phillips, of Chattanooga. (Cedartown Standard, June 29, 1916)
