"Cleanthes Whitecroft Adams, aged 60 years, died at his home in this city early Sunday morning of kidney trouble after an illness extending over many months. The funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock by Rev. A. C. Stormont, assisted by Elder Johnson of Mexico, under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity, after which the remains were laid to rest in the city cemetery.
For many years the deceased made Centralia his home while traveling as a millinery firm and only moved away for a short time to serve as president of the Richard Hanlon Millinery Co. of St Louis. Returning to Centralia, he re-embarked in the mercantile business in April 1901, in which he remained up until a few weeks ago, disposing of his interests to the Perry-Ward Co. Mr. Adams was ever one of the most enterprising and public spirited men in the Prairie Queen, ever striving for the betterment of the town and community.
The wife; two sons, Charles and Dayton; one daughter, Mrs. Roy Anthony; three sisters, Mesdames Lyle Trigg of Hannibal and Kate Winn and Thomas Randolph of Elk City, Okla.; two brothers, John and Henry; and many relatives and friends mourn the death."
