WHERE DEATH HAS BEEN

Wheeler B. Adams.

Wheeler B. Adams, formerly of Fulton, died of consumption in Shreveport, La., Monday, evening, December 22.

He was born in Fulton 27 years ago, and lived in this place until recently. His disease developed several years ago, though it did not grown upon him until a few months ago, when he went to the dry sections of Texas and New Mexico for relief, though he found it not.

His body was brought to Fulton and on Thursday after a funeral service at the Fulton Christian Church, of which he was a member, by Eld. M. A. Hart, it was laid to rest in the new cemetery.

He had many friends in Fulton and they learned of his death with sorrow. He was an amiable, kindly, generous heart. The bereaved mother, sister and brothers have the sincere sympathy of this community in their grief.

WHEELER B. ADAMS DEAD!

News was received in Fulton Tuesday of the death of Wheeler B. Adams at the home of his mother, Mrs. Ann Adams, in Shreveport, La. Wheeler has been in extremely poor health for several years and had sought relief in the dry climate of New Mexico. He grew gradually worse and realizing that it was useless to seek health anywhere, he returned to Shreveport and on Monday his sufferings were relieved by death.

At the time of his death he was 27 years of age. Several years ago he united with the Christian church and while he was never a bad boy, he lived a purer and better life after uniting with the church. He has been connected with various business interests in Fulton and showed a good ability for his work.

His remains were brought to Fulton for burial Thursday in the New Cemetery.

To the bereaved and sorely troubled family, the Telegraph offers its sincerest sympathy.
