"John H. Adams, now president of the Adams Shoe Company of Adamsdale, was born at that place April 10, 1872. After attending the local schools he took a course at the Keystone State Normal School, at Kutztown, Pa., graduating in 1901, and for three terms taught school in North Manheim township, Schuylkill county. For a time he had charge of the office work of his father's shoe company, and he took advantage of his opportunity to learn the business thoroughly. When the Adams Shoe Company was incorporated he was made secretary and treasurer, being associated with the concern in this capacity until he became the executive head, in January, 1913. Like his father and brothers he is a man of unquestioned business ability, and the upbuilding of the business had gone on steadily under his able direction. He makes his home at Adamsdale, and gives all his attention to the management of the shoe business. Air. Adams married Charlotte R. Haeseler, daughter of John T. Haeseler, of Orwigsburg, a member of one of the old established families of Schuylkill county. Mr. and Mrs. Adams have one child, Marvin L. In religious faith this family adheres to the Reformed denomination."
