MISS ADAMS IS
LAID TO REST
Well-Known Pine Bluff School
Teacher Dies Sunday
Funeral services, simple but impressive, for Miss Jessie Bright Adams, for more than a quarter of a century a teacher in the city and rural schools of Jefferson County who died Sunday at the home of her sister, Mrs. Edgar Brewster, 304 Harding Avenue, were held yesterday afternoon from the First Methodist Church.
Interment was in Bellwood Cemetery, Holderness Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. The Rev. F. R. Buddin, pastor of First Methodist Church; the Rev. Frank G. Roebuck, pastor of Lakeside Methodist Church; and the Rev. W. C. Watson; presiding elder of the Pine Bluff district, officiated.
Miss Adams succumbed to a rather brief illness and news of her passing came as a distinct shock to scores of Pine Bluffians, many of whom had at one time been her pupils.
Born in Hawesville, Ky., September 11, 1871, Miss Adams was the daughter of W. C. and Hettie White Adams, and the member of a family distinguished in literary efforts. Her three brothers all found their way into the newspaper business, the late Jim W. Adams coming to Pine Bluff to found the Daily Graphic, now published by George H. Adams, and the late W. Q. Adams being publisher of a newspaper at Owensville, Ky.
As a school girl Miss Adams moved to Pine Bluff to live with her brother, Jim, and after completing her education at Cherry Brothers School in Kentucky, took up the teaching profession here. She taught in the city and county schools for 28 years.
After the death of Jim Adams she made her home with Mrs. Brewster.
In addition to her school work, "Miss Jennie," as she was known to most of her friends, was an active member of the First Methodist Church, taught in its Sunday School and served as secretary of the Young Ladies' Club.
In addition to her brother and sister, George Adams and Mrs. Brewster, Miss Adams is survived by a number of nieces and nephews.
Pall bearers, selected at her request from her former pupils, were active: Roger McNew, John Gillespie, Frank Triplett, Jim McLellan, Harry Wooldridge, Thomas A. Hill, D. Stanly Dreyfus, and Leonard M. Jones.
Honorary pallbearers were: V. D. Webb, W. A. Taggart, N. J. Gantt, F. E. Renfre, O. F. Brewster, A. H. Rowell, Dr. B. D. Luck, Dr. A. W. Troupe, S. G. Seabrook, T. J. Collier, Sr., O. G. Keller and J. A. Watkins.
