-----------------
From the History of Mower County, 1911:
Gordon C. Adams, of Austin, now deceased, former farmer and business man, was born in the town of Orwell, Vt., in 1823, and removed with his parents to Benson, Ruthland county, where he was engaged in farming and school teaching. In 1850 he went to Brooklyn, N. Y., and engaged in the retail lumber trade, remaining several years, after which he was engaged with the New York & Brooklyn Sawmill and Lumber Company for ten years, being superintendent and treasurer of the company seven years of that time. For the succeeding fourteen years he was with the South Brooklyn Sawmill Company, being superintendent, secretary and treasurer nearly that entire time. During this time Mr. Adams visited Mower county, and was so pleased with the vicinity that in 1879 he purchased a farm of 160 acres from S. G. Woodard. Mr. Adams expended a considerable amount of money in improving his place and his barns, and his equipment and facilities for handling and housing crops and live stock was among the best in the township. In his latter years Mr. Adams gave up farming, and for a time engaged in the fuel business in Austin. He died in Austin, February 17, 1901.
G. C. Adams married for his first wife Harriet M. Watson. They were married in Vermont, and she died in the city of Brooklyn, leaving no children. His second wife was Ella M. Squires, also of Vermont, who died nine years after her marriage, leaving two children, Hattie M., who died at the age of 29, and Alfred, who died at the age of three. Subsequently Mr. Adams married Mattie Allen, born in Whitehall, Ill., daughter of Jesse and Mary B. Allen. Her early life was spent in Illinois, and she was married to Gordon C. Adams, at the age of 37 years.
