"JAMES ADAMS DIES EARLY LAST NIGHT: Was an Old and Highly Respected Citizen and Merchant of this City. // Mr. James ADAMS died at 6:55 o'clock yesterday evening at his residence, No. 1723 Second avenue, after a long illness of Bright's disease. He was seventy-seven years of age ad is survived by his wife and one sister, Mrs. H[annah] HENRY, of this city, and one brother, Mr. Thomas ADAMS, of Montgomery, Ala. Mr. ADAMS had been a resident of this city for a number of years and the greater part of the time had been engaged in the mercantile business. He possessed a quiet and gentle disposition, but was a man of force and character and firm convictions, and his death will be regretted by all who knew him. // The funeral will take place at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning from the Church of the Holy Family [Catholic] and the interment will be in Linwood cemetery." [Columbus (GA) Ledger newspaper, Sunday, 09 DEC 1917, p. 7.]
Mary Jane Galer's list of persons interred in the New Cemetery area of Linwood shows: James ADAMS, married male, died aged 77 years at 1723 Second Avenue [Columbus, Georgia] of Bright's disease [= nephritis]; buried 10 DEC 1917 in Section A, Lot 165, by undertaker [Charlton Lafayette] TORBETT, reference local death certificate #6397 - Sexton Emory JEFFERSON.
"Confederate Soldiers Buried in Linwood Cemetery, Columbus, Muscogee County, Georgia (Revised)," compiled by Ricky Anthony Smith (1992), p. 1, shows: James ADAMS served in Company B, 60th Regiment, Georgia Infantry, CSA; born 1840 County Derry, Ireland, died 08 DEC 1917; buried [in lot located along] Plum Street. [It is not clear how the conclusion was reached that James ADAMS buried at Linwood is the same as James J. ADAMS who served in that unit. Note that the National Park Services' online database of Civil War Soldiers and Sailors shows that James J. ADAMS entered and separated as a Private with Company B, 60th Regiment, Georgia Infantry, CSA.]
