Steamboat loses her most persistent booster - death occurs after three weeks of intense suffering
Sam G. ADAMS is dead. After a long battle with disease, acute for more than two weeks, death was the victor early yesterday morning. The news brought sorrow to many for his intense vitality, and his boundless enthusiasm and optimism and his loyalty and generous work for this section of the state were a constant inspiration to others for years. He was generous to a fault, loyal to his friends and country, magnanimous and forgiving. No malice or ill will ever entered into his consciousness. He did more effective work for the community without thought of reward than any other man who has ever lived on the Western slope. He believe in Routt county and gave freely of his money and time to advance its interests. When any community work was to be done without pay and no one else could be found to do it, Sam ADAMS was the stand-by who could be always relied upon to do it and do it well.
Sam G. ADAMS was born July 06, 1862, near Bristol, Tennessee., and in early life came to Colorado. For eighteen years he engaged in railroad work, as brakeman and conductor on the Denver & Rio Grande and the Rio Grande Western. At different times he had runs between Minturn and Grand Junction, Grand Junction and P. V. Junction, Leadville and Salida, and from Salida over Marshall pass. He came to Routt county July 29, 1897, and has been engaged in various promotion and investment lines. He made himself familiar with all the resources of the county and was considered an authority on the coal measures, his knowledge and advice being sought by the largest operators. When David H. Moffat first conceived the building of a railroad into Northwestern Colorado he secured the services of Mr. ADAMS and sent him to Providence, Rhode Island, to tell the capitalists he was interesting of the coal measures of this county.
The last work Mr. ADAMS did before his critical illness was in connection with the analyses and naming of the mineral springs t this place, a voluntary work for the benefit of the community. Also he was beginning the work of collecting specimens for the Routt county fair.
On December 19, 1886, at Salt Lake City, Mr. ADAMS was married to Ada L. MANN-WEAVER. He has no known relatives except his loving wife, who administered to him and comforted him during his last illness and who is a lost prostrated by her loss, and a step-daughter, Mrs. May TERRILL, of Minturn, Colorado.
The funeral arrangements are in charge of the Masonic lodge, of which Mr. ADAMS was a member, and interment will take place tomorrow. The Funeral Services will be held in the lodge room at 2 o'clock, and all Masons are requested to meet and assist in the services.
