The Lebanon Times, June 15, 1911
The news spread rapidly over the city and entire community Monday morning upon the news of the sudden death of Uncle Alfred Adams and the grief was widespread and sincere. He is well known all over the county and has been a resident since the year 1888. His [demise] was sudden indeed. He had started to get up from his bed Monday morning when he suddenly experienced one of his weak spells which have been very frequent of late, when he fell back on the bed and after a repeated attempt was overcome and before many minutes his spirit took its flight to that home the Christian believes is the fulfillment of life everlasting.
Uncle Alfred will be missed by everyone in the scope of his acquaintance. He was a man of excellent habits fine moral character and sturdy constitution and continued to be active in his accustomed pursuits till long after the age at which men ordinarily drop out of the ranks of workers. He was eighty-seven years of age. His cheerful disposition and clearness of intellect remained with him to the last. He was invariably a good neighbor and there was no happier family circle than his. When he died, full of years, and ready to be gathered to his fathers, a grand old character left a good report for the monument for the last resting place in the community in which he has lived for so many years.
A devoted father of a gifted family of five sons and one daughter all surviving him, to his friends the soul of fellowship and greatest of all was he as a man and his life will long remain in the memory of those who knew him. The last services were held yesterday afternoon at two o'clock at the home of his son, Ells, with whom he has been making a home since the death of his wife and companion in 1903. Services conducted by Rev. Fisher with interment in the Price cemetery where all that was mortal of the grand good father was laid beside a devoted wife to rest in peace.
The five sons, George of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, Charles of Grand Junction, Colorado and John, Ells and James of this city were all present at the last sad rites. The daughter, Mrs. Pickens of Stockton was unable to attend.
