Kansas Prison Guard died early Saturday morning after hours of suffering. He was cleaning a stove at his home and gasolene flames engulfed him. Born in Boone County West Virginia. Before becoming a guard he conducted a blacksmith shop just South of Lansing. He is survived by his wife Rena Linaweaver Estep and several sons and daughters. "Guard Estep was faithful to his trust and was held in the highest esteem by prison officials." said Warden W.H. Mackey yesterday. "He was a man in whom we placed implicit confidence. His tragic death is a great shock to us all."
Aside from his widow, Mrs Rena Linaweaver Estep, Mr. Estep is survived by his sons, Reginald Estep, Grand Island agent at Marysville, Kan., Roland Estep, Hartsell, Colo; Carlton Estep, home address; his daughters, Mrs. Gladys Gabbert; home address; Mrs. Lois Jones, Appleton, Wis., his sisters, Mrs. Lola Reeves, Lansing, Kan.; and Mrs Gertrude Wilkinson, Wabash, Ind.
Funeral services probably will be held Tuesday.
