=From "They Gazed on the Beartooths" by Jim Annin Vol 1=
Joseph Adams, an older brother of W P Adams was born March 1, 1859 in Meigs County, Ohio, where he spent most of his earlier life, engaged in the horseshoeing business and general blacksmithing. The Spanish-American War broke out, he enlisted in an Ohio regiment and became official blacksmith for a cavalry unit. He boasted of acquaintance with Teddy Roosevelt, of San Jaun Hill fame, and shod the "Rough-Rider's" horse before the famous charge.
Upon being discharged in late 1899, he listened to the advice of his brother and came to Columbus where he opened a blacksmith shop and did the detail horseshoeing for the Calhoun-Adams livery barn. He sold out and went to work at the army post at Fort Keogh as a civilian blacksmith. He died there and his body was brought to Columbus for interment. He never married.

Inquest Over Adams Body
An inquest over the body of Joseph Adams, who died after meeting with an accident on the N.P. railroad Wednesday, began this morning. The testimony of the trainmen was to the effect that Adams probably boarded the freight train at Terry, but the first that was actually seen of him was when the train stopped on a flag from a work train at Blatchford. The head brakeman, in passing the rear of the train, saw a pair of feet sticking over the end of a car, on top. The brakeman climbed up and found a man, who was Adams, asleep, with his head and feet on the running board. The brakeman put him off the train, telling him it was unsafe to ride in that manner, as well as being against the rules.
The head brakeman saw no more of Adams, but after the train had again started and the caboose came along, Adams was seen by the conductor on the caboose sitting beside the road holding his legs, which were doubled up in front of his body. The rear brakeman told the conductor that he thought Adams was hurt, as while he had been sitting in the lookout of the caboose he had seen him start for the train, with the evident intention of boarding it. The conductor stopped the train and the crew went to look after Adams. It was found that his right leg was broken and cut above the ankle and his left was slightly injured, but he would not explain the accident. The conductor wired to Glendive for instructions and the wire came back to take the engine and caboose and run back to Terry with the injured man, which orders were complied with. Adams was place on No. 3 and died on the way to Miles City.
He was about 51 years of age. The remains will be taken to Columbus by his brother tonight, for his burial there. --Miles City Journal
