James Carter Adams
Mr. J. C. Adams Summoned by Death.
The death of Mr. J. C. Adams, for many years a resident of Jackson but recently of Jacksonville Fla., occurred in that city Thursday night, July 8. He had been in feeble health for several months and before he left Jackson his friends could see that he was failing. Death was due to infirmities of old age.
A native of Pike County, Mr. Adams was 76 years old. He enlisted in the Civil War in 1864 and served with Blount's Battalion until he surrendered at Macon in 1865. He was a member of the Methodist Church and exemplified in his daily life those qualities of character that made him so well liked. Mr. Adams was in business in Jackson for some time but retired a year or so ago to enjoy a well-earned rest. After leaving Jackson he spent some time in Birmingham and then went to Jacksonville to reside with his son, Mr. E. L. Adams of Birmingham, Ala.
The body was brought back to Jackson Saturday morning and the funeral was held from the Methodist Church, Rev. S. R. England conducting the services. The pallbearers were Messrs. J. W. Carter, I. P. Middlebrooks, D. M. Thornton, J. M. Gaston, and R. L. Carter and an escort from Camp Barnett of Confederate Veterans acted as honorary pallbearers. The body was laid to rest in the Jackson Cemetery.
