From Geneva Daily Times 1 April 1912
Canandaigua, N. Y. - After nearly a two-days search and the
dragging of Canandaigua lake, the body of John B. Estey, of
Flint, was found about 11:30 o'clock yesterday morning on the ice about
45 feet from the shore at the mouth of Deep Run Creek. The body was
found lying face downward by Leslie Young, James Estey and Charles Leet
of Flint. They had just arrived in an automobile when they discovered
the body on the ice near the shore. Between the ice and the shore was
water for some distance and it was necessary for the men to procure a
boat to reach the man. Coroner Armstrong of Canandaigua was summoned
and granted a certificate of death from exposure. Mr. Estey was man 84
years of age and is said to have been of feeble mind, but of strong
physique except for advancing years. He disappeared from his home at
Flint Friday about noon. Estey's son, Frank J. Estey, who has had
charge of his father's business for several years on account of the
feebleness of mind of the aged man, yesterday offered a reward of $100
for the discovery of the body of his father, dead or alive.
Mr. Estey said he was going to his daughter's, Mrs. W. E. Cook, who
resides some little distance away. He probably went to his daughter's
as he had intended, but not finding her home, he again went into the
road and turned west instead of going back to his son's. Whether the
man was confused or whether he deliberately started to walk on the
Geneva-Canandaigua turnpike is not know. Neighbors saw the man going
west on the turnpike and later several people residing near Cottage
City, some ten or more miles from Flint, saw an old man walking along
the road Friday evening about 7:30 o'clock going southwards. He had a
cane and his description tallies quite closely with that of the missing
man. Saturday searchers were able to trace the tracks of that man to a
bridge over a creek, but were unable to find any place where the tracks
led away from the bridge. The whole countryside about Cottage City was
aroused and with Sheriff Gooding directing, an energetic hunt was made.
Mr. Estey must have reached the ice at a point some distance up the
lake from where his body was found, as there was water between the ice
and the shore for a mile or more. It is believed that he walked at
least eighteen miles and the supposition is that when he reached
this point on the ice, he was tired and sat down to rest. He had
evidently removed his mittens for they lay on the ice beside his head.
In his exhaustion, he fell over on his face and death came to his
relief. A cane, which he had when he started out was not with him and
had evidently been lost somewhere in his journey. The body was removed
by Undertaker Kennedy to his home at Flint. He leaves three sons, Frank
of Orleans; Fred of Flint, with whom he resided; and Alexander of
Rochester; two daughters, Mrs. William Cook and Mrs. F. O. Newton, both
of Flint.
