Stella Adams Rites
Fennimore--Funeral services for Stella Adams, 66, former Fennimore resident who died at Oshkosh Wednesday, were held at the Sulzer Funeral home here Saturday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Harold Welch, pastor of the United Brethren church. Burial was in Casler cemetery near Mt. Hope.
Miss Adams was born at Mt. Hope, and received her elementary and high school education there. She began teaching at the age of 17 in the rural schools of Grant county. She was a graduate of Otterbein United Brethren college in Iowa, Platteville State Teachers college, and Chicago Evangelistic Theological college. Miss Adams served as pastor of United Brethren churches at Lime Ridge and Monroe and later taught in the Pilgrim Holiness college, Greensboro, N.C. and the Chicago Evangelistic Theological college. She was ordained elder in the church of the Nazarene in 1925. She did pastoral and evangelistic work at Antigo, Kempster, Oshkosh, Neenah and Appleton.
Survivors are a bother, J. Wesley Adams, Sioux falls, S.D., and a sister, Mrs. J.C. Brockert, Platteville.
(Obit in the Madison Wisconsin State Journal, Tuesday, Feb. 15, 1944, page 3, col. 5)
(There is an error in her obit about her burial location. It lists the cemetery where her father was buried.)
