W W Adams
Liveryman - one of 10 son & 2 daughters born to Jeremiah and Patsy (Scott) Adams from Georgetown. His father a native of Deleware & pioneer of Scott Co Ky - industrius farmer - Episcopalian old time Wig died age 89. His mother old Harrison Co family - lived to age 92
Had farm of 114 acres - Oxford & Leesburg Rd 8 miles from Georgetown. Raised & handled stock for New Orleans & Cinci market 1852-1856. Moved later to Clay Co Mo where he continued to raise livestock came back to Ky - Jesmine Co in 1861 to a farm June 1875 - began stable on Short St
From the history of Lexington includes a brief history on circa 1880 W W Adams, Mammoth Sale, Feed and Boarding Stable, 24 N Limestone. Among the concerns which give weight to the horse business of Kentucky is the establishment now occupied by Mr. Adams. This has been a stand for selling horses as far back as 1836. At that time a small frame building, probably not larger than one of the stalls of the present stable, formed the accommodations.
The successor to-day of that 1836 structure is one of the largest in America. It has a handsome front 40 feet wide and runs back 200 feet, with L 140 feet more. It is two story. There is copious ventilation and electric light. The stable is kept remarkably clean and the stall arrangements are complete. The competent help is under careful management. The premises can house between 140 and 150
horses, and for feeding purposes as many more. Mr. Adams gets his stock largely from Kentucky and Tennessee, through breeders from all over the Union ship to him to sell for them. This stock included thoroughbreds, trotters, saddlers, roadsters, coaches and park horses, pairs, as well as heavier draft animals, also stallions and brood mares. He does a large business in jacks and jennets.
It was in this stable that Mark Diamond, the famous premium stallion was bred. Mrs. Adams has been dealing in horses all his life, settled in Lexington in 73. He was formerly breeding in Woodford County. He is a native of Scott; is a Mason and Odd Fellow. Visitors to the city, who want to see a finer stock of horses that they will find outside of Lexington will find it instructive and pleasant to visit the Mammoth Sale Stable at 24 N. Limestone St.
