Facts and Events
Newspaper birth announcement Unidentified newspaper-clipping August 20, 1936 PAPA HAROLD: Anyone having business at the office of the probate judge may notice the broad smile of the congenial clerk, Harold Esteb. Fearing that someone might wonder why the high steps and extra grin, we are acting as informers to the general public that Harold is now the proud father of a fine daughter, born Tuesday morning. Though hoping and planning for a son who could soon till the soil of the family garden, Harold has become reconciled to the fact that the daughter may become a stenographer and relieve him of much of his duties as a typist in the office. The little lady will answer to the name of Reta May. Mrs. Esteb was formerly Miss Leah Hall of the Spring Valley Community. This is their first child.

Newspaper item September 1935, Caldwell County News newsclipping Gave Bountiful Shower After the continued shower of needed rain Saturday and Sunday Kingston community followed up with another bountiful shower Tuesday night when fifty or sixty people gathered at the new home of the newly weds, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Esteb, and left everything from a skillet to a set of dishes. The dining table was piled high with gifts and after much visiting and congratulations the "birds of the nest" were made to open their gifts so that everyone could see what had been given. Kingston is well noted for gifts at the showers for its newlyweds and in the shower of Tuesday night the record was well kept, as the many gifts were valuable and practical. Newspaper item Caldwell County News, February 7, 1940 Esteb Files for Office The 1940 political campaign was opened here this week when Harold F. Esteb filed for office Wednesday with County Clerk Geilker. The official announcement is also being run in the county papers this week. Mr. Esteb needs but little introduction to voters of Caldwell county as he is acquainted with hundreds of them in different ways, especially in the probate office at the court house. He has been the efficient clerk for Judge D. O. Love and is the present clerk for A. B. Cleaveland. The new candidate for office is a Kingston product, grew up in this community, educated in the Kingston schools and in the school of hard knocks. For several years he was chief clerk in the Ab Howard store here, where he gleaned a lot of good business experience. In the probate office he has continued with business experience and efficiency until he is a very capable and promising candidate for the office which he seeks, that of County Treasurer and Ex-Officio Collector. In entering the race for this office, Mr. Esteb asks and seeks the support of his many friends and acquaintances over the county and of those whom he has not yet met. He plans a county-wide campaign and expects to meet every voter possible. If he is successful in the race and becomes the next county treasurer, he promises to give his full time and attention to the office duties and to care for every detail of the office as efficiently and as promptly as is possible. Newspaper item Braymer Bee, September, 1935 Court House Courtin' Showing Results Courthouse courtin' seems to be successful in Caldwell County. Anyway, two of the well known deputies in the courthouse at Kingston ended their single blessedness when Miss Leah Hall, employed in the office of the circuit clerk, and Harold Esteb, deputy in the office of the Probate Judge, were married Saturday evening. They are both popular with folks who have had business around the courthouse, and are receiving the congratulations and best wishes of a large circle of friends. They will make their home in Kingston, where they had already furnished a house, and will continue with their duties at the courthouse.
