~Daughter of Elbert Cook~

From the News-Democrat (Paducah, KY), 19 Jan 1928

Mrs. Fannie Adams, 77, widow of James Adams, died at her home on West 7th Street Tuesday night. The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock followed by burial in the Odd Fellows Cemetery near the city. Mrs. Adams is survived by two grandchildren: Clarence Gahan and Nellie Hayes. Mrs. Adams was highly respected by a host of friends.

Left a widow with two small grandchildren to care for with only the small pension paid her by the government as a soldier's widow, her struggle was a hard one to sustain life and rear the children to a respectable manhood and womanhood. She was one of the unsung heroes one rarely meets up with in life's journey.
