Lexington, Mo.
Died, at her residence, in this city, June 24, 1898, Mrs. Miranda Adams, aged 72 years, wife of Dr. Minos Adams
Mrs. Adams, whose maiden name was Miranda Clark, was a sister of the late Judge Milton Clark, of Chillicothe, Ohio, who died about a year ago.
Mrs. Adams was born and raised in Clarksburg, Ohio. In December, 1848, she married Dr. Minos Adams, and went east that the Doctor might complete his medical education. Afterward they settled in Arkansas, and later on moved to Pleasant Hill, Mo. At the close of the war they came to Lexington, which has ever since been their home. She leaves no children, but several nieces and nephews live in Lexington, among the number being George, Wesley and Smith Clark, Mrs. Huffman and Mrs. Scheber.
She was about 72 years old, and had suffered for many years from stomach trouble, and had been confined to her bed since last November. Although an invalid for forty years she never complained, but was always patient and cheerful, and appreciative of all that was done for her. When her health permitted she enjoyed the cheerful companionship of friends and neighbors.
Loving hands ministered to her wants and did all that was possible for human power to do, to ease her suffering and prolong her life. She was for many years a consistent member of the Presbyterian church, and, after a long, weary journey, has laid down her burden at the feet of Jesus, and can realize now the full meaning and beauty of the words: "Henceforth there remaineth for me a crown."
