Another old settler passed away, Friday morning, June 27, 1884---Mr. Elisha M. Adams, of 144 North Division street, Grand Rapids. Mr. Adams was a native of Dutchess County, New York, where he was born June 2, 1802. He came to this city in 1851, and ever since was a familiar personage upon [pg.52]our streets, pursuing the even tenor of the way of a man cheifly absorbed in business and watsing no time. He was a careful cautious man, conscientious and exact, with strong religious feelings, and esteemed citizen who will be missed from the circle of the older residents. A man of temperate and regular habits, he attained great age, and passed away quietly to the common home of mankind. He was a member of the old Residents' Assocation.
