Wife of Adam Brown Adams
"The New York Herald of Sunday says 'After a pathetic struggle, lasting many years, to gain recognition with the novels and the play she had written, abandoned by her wealthy relatives and left destitute, young Evelyn Adams died of starvation in her apartments in the Windermere, at No. 400 West Fifty-seventh street, last Thursday. The body of the young authoress was sent to her former home in Utica yesterday.' Mrs. Adams was the widow of Adam Brown Adams, a member of an old Massachusetts family, whom she married against the wishes of the young man's mother. Before marriage she was a Miss Evelyn La Paugh and lived with her parents at No. 202 Blandina street, Utica. About 15 years ago, with her younger sister Gertrude, she ran away from home and made a tour of the United States. The younger sister lectured and Evelyn gave dramatic performances. When they reached California Gertrude was stricken with small pox and died, and then Evelyn returned to New York, determined to win distinction as a novelist. It was there that she met and married Mr. Adams. After the death of her husband Mrs. Adams once more took up her literary work. She wrote and published a book entitled 'Is Marriage a Lottery?' which attracted some attention ... Her funeral was held at Slawson's undertaking parlors, in Utica, at 2 p. m. on Sunday, Rev. R. H. Life, pastor's assistant at the First Presbyterian Church, officiating. Interment was made in the family plot in Forest Hill cemetery." [Rome Daily Sentinel (Rome, NY), Nov. 20, 1899, Page 3]
