MASON ADAMS OBITUARY

CLARK COUNTY HERALD

13-JULY-1886

 

 

   Mr. Adams was born in 1822, in Loudon County, Virginia, where he lived to years of maturity and was married to Miss Armenia Hutchinson.   In 1855 he moved to Illinois and settled on the farm which has since been his home.   An upright, honest man, an active earnest Christian, having been a faithful member of the M.E. Church for thirty-five years, he was honored and respected by all who knew him.

   Some time last winter, he was injured by the upsetting of his sleigh, his head striking against a stone as he was thrown to the ground.   He never recovered from this mishap and some time since a complication of other diseases set in and about two weeks since it became evident to his friends that his end was near.   On Monday of last week he quietly breathed his last, about four o’clock P.M.   He leaves a wife and six grown children and numerous other friends and relatives to mourn his loss.   He lived to see all his children settled in life and all living lives of usefulness, an honor to the father who gave them so bright an example of virtue and purity and with the assistance of his noble helpmeet, trained their feet to ways of peacefulness and truth.   Mr. Adams will be strongly missed in the community of which he was so long a useful member.   The testimony of all is “A noble man was gone to his reward”.
