Adams
The funeral of the late F. J. Adams was conducted from Grace M.E. church Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock in charge of Dr. h. H. Oneal, assisted by Dr. R. O. Post and Dr. W. F. Short.
A choir, consisting of Miss Kreider, Miss Young, Robert Halstead and J. Philip Read, sang a number of anthems appropriate to the sad occasion, and Miss Kreider also sang most beautifully and impressively, "Face to Face". There was a great profusion of floral tributes, which were under the care of Mrs. Joseph Capps, Mrs. G. H. Huntoon and Mrs. D. C. McCoy.
Dr. W. F. Short read the following obituary: "Francis Julian Adams, son of Judge Lemuel Adams, was born in Sheldon, Vt., Nov. 3, 1839. Two brothers, Henry and John, were physicians of prominence in Oakland, Cala., and another, E. P. Adams, of Swanton, Vt., was a senator in the Vermont legislature.
"Mr. Adams came to Chicago when 21 years of age and was married in Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 17, 1878. For ten years he was state superintendent of the Temperance alliance. He was engaged for a number of the last years of his life in commercial business, and received the highest commendation of his employers for whom he worked a number of years, and by whom he had been engaged for another year. He was a resident of Springfield for two years previous to his removal to this city.
"Besides being a valuable citizen in time of peace, Mr. Adams served his country well in the civil war, exhibiting the same devotion toward his native land that he ever showed for his friends. He was a man of unbounded generosity and sympathy, as was manifested in numberless ways and instances. His genial and warm hearted spirit and manner were marked traits of his character and actions. Only the record on high will ever reveal the number and value of his benefactions. His is the reward of Him who said: "Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these little ones, ye did it unto me."
When the impressive services at the church were concluded the remains were borne to their last resting place in Diamond Grove Cemetery. The bearers were: J. F. Kitner, Abram Wood, S. R. Capps, H. M. Pratt, E. C. Kreider and H. W. Hitt.
