Another Noble Soul Is Called After A Long Suffering.
Mrs. Adaline Adams, aged 80 years, passed away at her home on North Atchison street, Saturday morning about 4:40 o'clock, following an illiness of several years. During the last six months she has been bedfast.
Funeral services will be held from the home Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, conducted by Reverend J.Q. Durfey, pastor of the Presbyterian church, assisted by Dr. A.O. Ebright of the Methodist Espiscopal church. The body will be laid to rest beside that of her husband who preceded her to the land of the Great Unknown a year ago, May 2, 1914, in the West cemetery.
Music will be in charge of the Kings Daughters of the Methodist church. The pallbearers will be: A.J. Holderman, G.W. Stinson, John Houser, J.E. McCully, O.F. Hobbs and Fred Peterson.
Miss Adaline Spencer was born October 2, 1835, in Center county, Pennsylvania. She was married in 1867 in Emporia, Kansas to B.F. Adams. She came with him to Kansas in the early 60's and moved to El Dorado in 1871. She attended college in Pennsylvania and taught school there and also in Kansas. She was one of a family of twelve children, and was raised in the Quaker faith, uniting with that church early in life. She is now a member of the Presbyterian church in this city. She is also a charter member of the W.C.T.U.
Surviving Mrs. Adams are her children, Mrs. Louisa Adams Scott, of Seward, Illinois; Spencer Adams, Lima, Peru, and Charles and Junia Adams of this city. Three sisters living in California and one in Washington, D.C., also survive.
Mrs. Adams, or Mother Adams as she was known, was a true Christian woman, a noble mother, and a kind friend. Two of her noticeable characteristics were faith and charity. A grip of faith and an invariable kindness, were hers in a remarkable degree. For years she lived her religion, lived it without cant or pretense, lived it in the home, in every avenue of life and lived it modestly.
In the fullness of a life well spent Mrs. Adams has gone to her coronation and the impress of her life as wife, mother, as one of the sturdy pioneers, as a citizen, will abide, and her memory live on to bless.
