Luther E. Kester, 80,
Dies At His Home
Luther B. Kester, 80, died Sun-
day morning at his home in Hun-
lock Creek, following a brief illness.
He was born in Nanticoke, but
spent most of his life in this area,
employed in the main as a carpen-
ter. He retired several years ago.
Church affiliations were with
Hunlock Creek Methodist.
The Kester family is associated
in the minds of old-timers with the
time-honored but fast vanishing
trade of horse shoeing and black-
smithing, a trade which flourished
before the advent of the automobile,
and held its own for decades be-
fore the last iron-bound wagon
wheel was superseded by the pneu-
matic tire.
Mr. Kester leaves his widow, Cora
Mae; these children: Mrs. George
Wildoner and Mrs. Ralph Whitesell,
both of Hunlock Creek RD 2; Mrs.
Carl Englehart, wife of the Hunlock
Creek Postmaster; six grandchildren
and nine greatgrandchildren.
