Clinton Public
William ADAMS, one among the earliest settlers of this county, died on Tuesday morning, at the advanced age of eighty-one years. He was a native of Virginia, and over fifty years ago came to this county, locating at first in Tunbridge township. About forty years ago he bought the farm on which he died. Last April his wife preceded him to the grave. Mr. Adams was one of the veterans of the Black Hawk war. In his day he was one of the active men of this county, and being of frugal and industrious habits he acquired sufficient property to make his declining years comfortable. He was buried yesterday afternoon in Woodlawn cemetery.

Another Pioneer Gone.
Died, at his home near this city on Monday evening, February 13, 1882, after a brief illness, Mr. William ADAMS, aged eighty years and ten months.
Deceased was one of the early pioneers of DeWitt county, having resided here about a half century, and was the father of ten most exemplary sons and daughters, eight of whom are still living, six sons and two daughters, all having arrived at the age of maturity. Both daughters are married, one living in Missouri, the other in Mason county, this state. Two sons are married—the other four remain bachelors, and all live in this county, and all highly respected citizens. This old man possessed some most excellent traits of character and was spared to the good old age of four score years, which have been filled with usefulness to his fellows. He was greatly honored and respected by all who knew him. The funeral services took place from the family residence yesterday attended by a large concourse of people—relatives and friends—after which the remains were conveyed to the grave in Woodlawn cemetery and laid to rest by the side of his aged companion, who died some time last April. They rest from their labors.
