Mrs. Texas Adams
A Sad Death
We regret to note the death of Mrs. Texas Adams, wife of Mr. C. F. Adams, who lived at Mr. Henry Collins old home, near Oak Grove academy, on Sunday of fever. This is indeed a sad death, as Mrs. Adams leaves three small children besides a devoted husband and many friends to mourn her untimely demise. Her remains were laid away in the Indian Springs cemetery on yesterday.

Obituary

Mrs. Texas A. Adams, daughter of Marion Britton, was born October 27th, 1864, was married to C. F. Adams April 5th, 1883. She as been a consistent member of the M. E. church five years, and departed this life September 7th, 1890
"Had the number of her days
Been as complete as was her praise,
Nature and Fate had had no strife
In giving limit to her life."
By the death of Mrs. Adams the church has lost a good; member; her husband, children, parents, brothers, and many friends, have lost one who was faithful and true. But really, she is not lost, but gone - gone to rest from the toils and disappointments of this world - gone where her beautiful character shines more brightly than it could while she was on earth. She was conscious of death, and admonished all who were present with her in that hour, to prepare for death and meet her in heaven.
She lived as peaceful as a dove;
She died as blossoms die,
And now her spirit floats above
A seraph in the sky.
A Friend
