Death of Reverend Joseph Adams/ The death of this well beloved citizen of Talbot County occurred at his home 4 miles east of Box Springs on Monday evening. His death was caused by pneumonia, he having been sick about two weeks. The deceased was a Baptist minister and had lived in this county nearly all his life. He was 72 years old. He leaves a wife, eight sons and two daughters, besides grandchildren and relatives to mourn his death. His remains were entered in the cemetery at Geneva. Uncle Joe, as he was affectionately called by those who knew him well, was a kind, friendly man with a disposition that radiated good cheer. For several years he was the spicy correspondent of the New Era from the lower 17th district. His quaint humor and epigrammatic originality pleased the readers of this paper. After living more than threescore and ten years this pilgrim has gone to his heavenly home. All that is mortal of him reposes near the evergreen pines, whose soft soughings was music to him while living."
