Valentine worked as a book-keeper in the John Strauf sawmill at Kelso.
On the evening of the 6th, December 1903, Valentine attempted to end his life by cutting his throat. Failing in his efforts, he then went to a barn and hanged himself from a beam.
At the inquest, his workmates were at a loss to explain his actions, stating he was in good spirits and health leading up to his demise.
Valentine left no known relatives in the country.
The Oregon Wills and Probates of 6 January 1903 for Valentine Adams, case number 867, shows he was buried in Row 1 Lot 4, one of the first burials in the cemetery.
The lot was originally surrounded by a wooden fence, no doubt long gone by now.
A search of the cemetery has failed to locate a grave marker.
