Eloise Jackson, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Ann Jackson, was born in Hazel Green, Wisconsin, January 9, 1864, and died at Fairmont, Nebraska, March 25, 1939. The family came to Fairmont in 1878, and this has remained the family home. She attended the Fairmont public schools and was a graduate of the class of 1888. Fourteen years of her young womanhood was spent in teaching in the Shickley and Fairmont schools and also in nearby rural schools.

She was married in 1903 to Rev. Robert G. Adams, a former pastor of the Fairmont Methodist Church. He was a member of the Troy, New York conference at the time of their marriage and New York was their home until his death in February, 1916. Mrs. Adams then returned to Fairmont and this has since been her home.

It was only a short time until she was actively engaged in various community activities. Chief among these was her work in the Methodist Church, of which she had been a member since young womanhood. She had the distinction of being a charter member of the Epworth League, young people's organization of the local church. This good woman taught Sunday school classes continuously until her ill health made it impossible. Both the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Societies secured her loyal service. Mrs. Adams was the financial secretary of the church at the time of her death, an office she had held over a long period of years.

Other community organizations in which she worked were the Eastern Star, the Woman's Club and the W.C.T.U She acted as worthy matron in the Eastern Star lodge during 1926 and was secretary of the same order from 1931 to 1939. In all these services Mrs. Adams proved herself capable and efficient, but withal she never neglected her home life. Her many deeds of loving kindness for her relatives and friends well attest to the genuine Christianity of this splendid lady.

The immediate surviving relatives are the sisters and brothers as follows: Anne Jackson, Fred Jackson, Frank Jackson, Alice Jackson, Mrs. Alex Perkins, Mrs. Mabel Quinlan, all of Fairmont; and John Jackson of Chicago. These with many other relatives and friends, mourn her passing.

Funeral services were in charge of the pastor, Rev. Robert L. Embree, in the Methodist Church at 2:30 p.m., Monday, March 27. Interment was in the Fairmont Cemetery.
