Born on Nov 8 1857 at Mont St Gregoire in Quebec, of Pierre Adam and Catherine Boiteau, he arrived in Massachusetts, about 1866, and lived on Canal St, in Millbury. He worked 26 years in the Cordis Mill and the last 3 years in the Bowden felting mill. He was married May 20, 1887 to Miss Jennie Mitchell of Millbury, who survived him. There were 3 children: James H, Etta M [my grandmother], and Everett F. He left in addition: 3 sisters and 3 brothers: Mrs Victoria Lajoice, Mrs Amelia Noe, and Mrs E R Crossman. Brothers are: Peter Adams, Worcester, Joseph , Millbury, and Frederick of St. Johns , Quebec. According to Obituary, he had left his work at the Bowden felting mill at 10 o'clock Tuesday night, feeling unable to work, but not considered sick. Yesterday, he remained at home. This morning, he complained of feeling weak and Dr. J. R Lincoln was called. The physician saw him at 8:30 and left some medicine for him, telling Mrs Adams the heart action was slow and weak and if Mrs Adams should appear worse at noon, to send for him. At 9:30, Mr Adams , who had been sitting on a couch in the kitchen, asked his wife to bring a Morris Chair from the sitting room for him to sit in. She did so and he changed his seat, after which Mrs Adams adjusted a pillow at his back that he might rest as comfortable as possible. This was no sooner accomplished than Mr. Adams put his hand to his face dying instantly.Mrs Adams was overcome, but neighbors were at hand to comfort her.
