Hugh Adams was born at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in Wilkes County, N.C., May 5, 1829; died Sept. 5, 1901. He was, therefore, 72¼ years old at the time of his death. The cause of his death was Bright's disease of which he suffered, fearfully, for the last eight months of his life.When five years of age his parents moved to Warrensburg, Johnston County, Mo. The day that he was 21 years old he started for the "Great West" on the route over the plains. Before he reached his destiny two out of three of his companions died of cholera. He first went to California but arrived in Oregon in the fall of 1850; here he found his brother, Jackson Adams, who came in 1847.He enlisted at Oregon City in Co. H. of the battalion of recruits to the first regiment of Oregon mounted volunteers, commanded by Col. Thomas Cornelius, to serve in the Yakima Indian war. This was on Feb. 25, 1856 and the company was on duty along the Columbia river as far out as old Walla Walla. On Jan. 15, 1857 he married Margaret E., who had crossed the plains in 1847, reaching the Willamette valley a few days before the Wickman massacre. He leaves her, six children, sixteen grand children and two great grand-children all living in Klickitat.He was not a member of any church but had a hope in Christ Jesus as his Savior and much desired to depart and be with him, which is fat betser than the suffering of this life.The funeral services were conducted by a Bro. George Darland, at the Spring Creek school house, after which the remains were interred in the Spring Creek cemetery, there to await the resurrection morning when the dead in Christ shall rise first.He was greatly loved by family and neighbors and was familiarly known as Uncle Hugh, by all having lived in this county for 28 years. "Yet, again we hope to meet Thee,When the day of life is fled;There in heaven with joy to Great thee,Where no farewell tear is shed.
