James Estepp saves a young woman from drowning
Posted By Wayne on March 21, 2010
There’s a family story in the central Kentucky Estepp clan that claims James Tinsley ESTEPP rescued a woman from drowning the in the Kentucky river. No one knew the name of the woman or the circumstances…until yesterday. Click the clipping below for the full story from the Mt. Sterling Advocate from 6 MAY 1908:
The young woman’s name was Fannie Sue BUSH. She was out for a ride with a young man named Cecil DILLS. A certain William FALLIS is also mentioned in the article along with Miss BUSH’s father, Mr. O. E. BUSH.
I found this on the Kentuckiana Digital Library, part of the Kentucky Virtual Library, in their Newspaper collection.
