From the Jackson Daily News, Nov. 1, 1905, p. 8:
A telegram received from Charlottesville, Virginia, conveys the sorrowful tidings of the death at that place of Mrs. Wirt Adams, which occurred at six o’clock this morning.
Deep grief and poignant regret pervades the entire community over this distressing news, and to many minds it is almost unbelievable. Only a few short weeks ago Mrs. Adams left this city accompanied by her devoted husband and two loving children, for an Eastern trip of a few days prior to the entrance of the children at Virginia educational institutions. In the full bloom of beauteous matronhood, endowed with splendid health and surrounded by every comfort and luxury that a true woman could wish, the world indeed seems bright and beautiful to her vision.
While spending a few days at Charlottesville, the site of the University of Virginia, from which her husband graduated and enjoying with him the fond recollections of college days, she was seized with pneumonia. From the very first it was apparent that the attack was critical . . . All that science and skill could offer; every resort of modern medicine, was brought into play, but without avail. The best physicians of Virginia were summoned to the bedside and Dr. G. K. Harrington, of this city, the family physician, was called to aid in the desperate battle. . . .
Mrs. Adams was the highest type of Southern womanhood, endowed with high mentality, gracious manners, true Christian principles, a loving and devoted wife, passionately attached to her children, and worshipped by a host of admiring relatives and friends. Her maiden name was Miss Sallie Yerger, and she was born and reared in this city, being the daughter of William S. and Henrietta Yerger, one of the oldest and best families in Mississippi. She was married to Hon. Wirt Adams in this city on the 21st of November, 1882, and two children blessed this union, Mr. Mayrant and Miss Norvelle Adams.
The funeral services will be held at St. Andrew’s church in this city, arrangement for which will be announced later.
