Coal miner for the Susquehanna Coal Company, Breaker #6, Glen Lyon, PA. He worked his way up from being a "breaker boy" hand-sorting coal from shale and rock to become the electrical foreman for the colliery in Glen Lyon.

He received deferments from military service during both World Wars because he worked in an industry critical to the war efforts.

Having left school in the elementary years, he finished high school and took technical courses after work to receive his equivalency diploma and improve his opportunities.

In addition to working for the coal company, Adolph was a member and volunteer firefighter with the Glen Lyon Hose Company, serving for many years as it's treasurer. He was a York Rite Mason.

Adolph died suddenly from a heart attack with Anthracilicosis (Anthracite Black Lung) and smoking as major contributing factors.
