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 Greenwoo9d 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)
(I do not know who Georgia Hunt is or who Mrs. Lizzie Hunt is- I would have
thought I might have found her in the 1870 or 1880 Polk CO census records if
she were from the area?)
