[Age at death 36 years, 10 months, 4 days.]

***

The death of Mrs. Adams was reported as we were preparing to go to press yesterday. The deceased is the wife of W. A. Adams and mother of Bonnie, whose death occurred last week. This severe affliction arouses the deepest feelings of sympathy for the husband and family.

The marker IS hard to read, but I think the bottom line shows the age at death as 36 years, 10 months, 4 days.

With a death date of Mar 1, 1889, I calculate the birth date as April 25, 1852.
