Mrs. Minerva Pinkney Adams, wife of our bereaved friend, Postmaster W.T. Adams of Brookline, who died after a short illness with petechial fever at the family residence March 27, 1886, was born in Maury County, Tennessee, in 1849, and came with her parents to this county in 1855, since which time she lived here up to the day of her untimely death. Her father, Charles Orrin Rainey, on his arrival in the county, bought 400 acres of land about 10 miles west of this city where the town of Little York was laid out by him. Mrs. Adams was married to her husband on Oct. 7, 1869, by Elder Kirk Baxter of the Christian Church, of which the deceased was a faithful and consistent member during the past 18 years. In her last illness all that medical skill and kind and loving hands could do was done, but without avail. Besides her devoted husband she leaves seven children—5 girls and 2 boys, the oldest aged 15 years and the youngest 1 week at the time of death…
