William Joseph Adams was 
born May 23, 1867; died August 
16, 1901, aged 34 years, 2 months
and 23 days.
  Will, as he was called by his
many friends and associates, was
naturally of a kind and cheerful
disposition.  To know him was to 
love him.  He bore his sufferings
without a murmur and manifest-
ed the sincerest gratitude for
the most trivial favors.
  He was conscientious in busi-
ness, kind and obliging as an
associate, devoted to his parents,
brothers and sisters and loyal to
causes and duty.
  His smiling face will be sadly 
missed by all.  A good man is 
gone, loving parents, brothers,
sisters and devoted friends re-
main to mourn an irreparable loss.
We extend to them our truest
sympathy.
