"William S. Adams, for many years an assistant editor and writer of the Sun office, died on Monday eve at his residence in Rahway, N.J., in the forty-ninth year of his age. He combined every amiable quality of character with remarkable professional talents, a wide range of information, and a constant devotion to duty that was beyond praise. In the course of a long experience we have known many men whose faculties, qualities, and labors were alike worthy of esteem and affection, but never one more gentle, more sincere, more unselfish, or more faithful than the friend and fellow workman we have now lost. Mr. Dana writes to Dr. Adams as follows: 'His loss is very great to us. I never expect to find another fellow-laborer, with such a stock of information, such high principles, and such thorough fidelity to duty.'" (Tribute printed in the "New York Sun", where William had reached the peak of his career.)
Cause of death: Pneumonia
After Williams passing, his wife went back to her father's home in Cincinnati, where she died a short time later.
