Biography

From his obituary:

"W.M. Estes Died Suddenly Monday

Well Known Prominent Mills County Resident Succumbs to Heart Attack at Home Here, Funeral This Thurday

Relatives and a wide circle of friends throughout Mills county were saddened this week by the sudden death of William M. Estes, well known prominent citizen, who passed away at his home in this city about 10 o'clock Monday evening. Death was due to a heart attack.

He was the son of *Richard and Hester Estes, prominent pioneer residents of Mills county, having been born at the family home south of Glenwood July 7, 1876.

Mr. Estes was actively engaged in farming and livestock business throughout the major portion of his life. He sold his farm and family home north of Pacific Junction to the Pony Creek Drainage district a few years ago when the land was needed for the construction of the Pony Creek drainage basin, and purchased the former Swain farm south of Malvern where he lived for a time after which he located in Malvern. About a year ago he moved to his family home in this city.

Always active in public affairs, he served for two terms as a member of the Mills county board of supervisors and was active in the administration of the AAA after its establishment. At the time of his death, he was chairman of the county age assistance commission and was a member of the the FSA committee.

Mr. Estes enjoyed a wide acquaintance throughout Mills county and commanded the respect and esteem of all who knew him.

Funeral services were held this Thursday afternoon in the Raynor chapel in Glenwood. The service was conducted by Dr. Frederick W. Long, pastor of the Glenwood Congregational church. Burial was made in the Glenwood cemetery. "

Estes-1243 and Estes-1254 appear to represent the same person because: Oh, I did not realize that you had created a profile for Unnamed Father Estes [ Estes-1243 ] .

Instead of asking you to add William [ Estes-1254 ] as the father of Laverne [ Estes-1235 ],

I need to ask you to approve my suggested merge of Unnamed Father Estes [ Estes-1243 ] into William [ Estes-1254 ]
