The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1916-04-11

Montgomery, and in the vicinity OF
Mt. Sterling. 1t is a memorable
incident and perhaps one of the
most memorable in the interesting
history of the settlement Of Ken
lucky. The usefulness and popu-
larity of Captain Estill; the deep
and universal sensibility excited
by the premature death Of citi-
zen so gallant and so beloved; the
emphatic character of his associates
in battle; the mastery skill and
chivalric daring displayed through
out the action, "every man to his
man and each to his tree;" the
grief and dependence produced by
the catastrophe, all contributed to
give to Estill's Defeat a most
signal notoriety and Importance.
especially among the only settlers
All the story, with all its circum-
stances of locality and of the fight
was told and told again and again
until even the children know i By
heart. No legendary tale was ever
listened to with as intense anxiety
or was inscribed in as vivid and
indelible an impress on the hearts
of the few of both sexes who then
constituted tht hope and strength
of Kentucky
"Further on the Chief Justice
states:
"The battle was fought on or
near the main creek, principally
between the two tributary branches.
Little Mountain INT. Sterling
now is only about two miles
above" Respectfully,

the negro Monk, bore his wounded
friend, VIM. Irvine, on his back
from the battle ground to Estilps
Station, distance of forty miles.
captain Estill was one of Ken
tucky's best and bravest defenders,
and has left behind him a name
which will live in the annals Of
Kentucky so long as there shall be
found men to appreciate the patriot
ism and self devotion of a martyr
to the cause of humanity and
civilization. &.
owe can well apply to Estill and
his comrades the words of Simoni-
DIES on the heroes of Thermopylae !:
OF those who died at Thermopylae,
glorious is the fate and fair the
doom; instead of lamentation they
have endless fame; their dirge is a
chant of praise. Such winding
sheet as theirs, no rust, no, nor all
conquering time shall bring to
nanght. But this sep.lchre ct
brave men hath taken for its hab-
liant the glory Of Hellas. LeOnidas

left mighty crown of valor and
undying fame
