24 SEP 2021, added gender. 1) Bio section as written by the original creator of the memorial has been retained, and is below the divider. 2) With regard to a virtual flower picturing the Congressional Medal of Honor, Adams does not appear on the list (Wikipedia) - there were only 26 Black service members awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor in the Civil War. The Congressional Medal of Honor is the highest military honor that can be bestowed, and while Adams was surely a admirable soldier who performed his duties, he is not a Medal of Honor recipient. No information as to if he died from disease or was killed in action; date of death is still wartime.
