George T. Adams, of Ullin, died last Friday morning at 6:30 o'clock, of pneumonia, complicated with other diseases. He had only been sick about ten days. Mr. Adams was widely known as a mill man. For probably twenty-five years he had charge of Bell's mill at Ullin.
Funeral services were held Sunday and the remains were buried in the Ullin Cemetery. The following sketch of his life is from the county history:
George T. Adams was born in Athol, Worcester County, Massachusetts, March 13, 1835, and was a son of Timothy and Laura (Twitche) Adams, the father being a distant relative of President John Quincy Adams. There were three children—Rosanna, wife of Dutton DeWood, of Pana, Ill.; Achsah, wife of Emory Gage, of Athol, Mass., and George T., who received his education at the schools of New Salem, Mass., and then went to door and sash manufactory in his native town.
In that mill he remained until 1857, and then came to Pulaski County, Illinois, where he worked in a mill owned by Dutton DeWood. After remaining in that location for four years he returned to his native town. At the latter place he also remained four years; then in 1865 came back to Pulaski County and commenced working in James Bell's mill, at Ullin.
Mr. Adams was married February 24, 1866, to Mrs. Hennie R. Morford, nee Mangold, who was born in Pennsylvania. The lady is the mother of four children by her present husband, one of whom is now living—Roy, born February 24, 1873.
Mr. Adams was a member of Dongola Lodge No. 581, A. F. & A. M. and of the American Legion of Honor. In politics he was a Republican.
