Mrs. Mary Lucinda Adams
Mary Lucinda Deeds was born in Rice County, Kansas, March 13, 1886, and departed this life at Galesburg, Illinois, December 3, 1923; aged 37 years, 8 months and 22 days.
She was united in marriage to James K. Adams August 17, 1903. They resided in Rice County until 1911, when they moved to Galesburg, Ill., where they have since made their home. To this union were born four children Everett K., aged 19; Robert S., aged 17; Cecil Mae, aged 15; Vernon, aged 13 years.
She leaves to mourn her loss eight brothers and one sister Jacob P., Robert L., George B., Henry C., Edward W., Sylvia R., Samuel H., Adam, and John R.; all residing in this community, except Samuel H., of Claysville, Pa. Her father, mother, and one sister preceded her to the Great Beyond. Besides these she leaves other relatives and a host of friends.
While yet a girl she united with the Methodist church of Little River. She was baptized September 13, 1903, and received into full membership on September 20, 1903. She has been a good mother, and all the children rise up and call her blessed she having had the entire care of her small family since the death of her husband who departed this life January 29, 1914.
The golden link that has bound this family together has been broken but her self-sacrificing spirit and watchful care will ever be to her children a rich legacy, for which her own hands she toiled and kept her family together. She will ever be remembered as an industrious and hard-working woman.
Short funeral service was held at the Kimblen & West Undertaking Parlors at Galesburg, Ill., conducted by the Rev. Mr. Wakefield of the Methodist church. The body was brought to Little River, arriving Saturday, and regular funeral services were conducted from the Methodist church at 1:00 o'clock Sunday afternoon by the pastor, Rev. E. L. Nicholson. Interment was made in Bean cemetery.

MARRIED
ADAMS - DEEDS
Mr. James Adams and Miss Mary Deeds were united in marriage by Probate Judge Minick in his office at Lyons, Kansas, Monday afternoon, August 17, 1903. Both of these young people are well and favorably known in this community, the groom being a bustling young farmer and the bride, the daughter of one of the best families and a popular young lady. Both have hosts of friends, won by their noble qualities. They will make their home in Little River for the present. May the greater part of their voyage of life be over a calm sea and beneath a clear sky with only enough storm to teach them one anothers worth. The Monitor extends its usual congratulations with unusual heartiness and sincerity.
As unto the bow the cord is,
So unto the man is woman:
Though she bends him, yet obeys him;
Though she draws him, yet she follows;
Useless each without the other.
