FUNERAL SERVICES FOR JAMES J. ADAMS
Funeral services for James J. Adams, pioneer to Parowan, whose death was announced in last weeks TIMES, were held in the Tabernacle on Friday, March 10, at 2 o'clock, the speakers being Walter C. Mitchell, Morgan Richards, R.H. Benson and John W. Bentley. In addition to the regular music by the choir, special numbers were a male quartet by Messrs Alfred Morris, J. Clayton Mitchell, L. Nelson Marsden and Merton Richards, and a violin solo by Alfred Morris.
From his surviving children, we get the following information relative to Brother Adams: He was born at Springfield, Ill. on Oct 3, 1848, the thrid son of Wm. and Maryann Leech Adams. He came to Salt Lake City with his parents in 1849, and to Parowan the next year, arriving in May, or within about four months after the first settlers reached here. The hardships of pioneer life were all his and he participated in many of the early Indian drives, as well as crossing the plains many times.
He was always prominent in church and civic affairs, having filled two missions, one in 1881 to Tennessee and another in 1900 to Michigan.
He was married in 1868 to Caroline Redd whose death many years ago left him as the soul protector of a family of eight children, seven of whom survive him.
In his death, the community lost one of its most --unreadable-- public problem in our recollection. We express the feeling of --unreadable-- in extending sympathy to the bereaved family.
