Mrs. ELIZABETH ADAMS died at the home of her son, John U. Adams, 244 South Potomac Street, on Thursday night from heart failure, aged 87 years and 6 months. She had been indisposed for about a week, but at no time was she confined to her bed, nor was her illness considered serious by the members of her family, as she bore her suffering quietly and always greeted those about her with a pleasant smile. She had just been helped to her bed by her granddaughter, Miss Sarah Adams, who left her apparently in the best of spirits, only to be found dead by one of the family a few moments later. She had received company in the afternoon and had eaten a hearty supper.
She was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church for nearly 70 years, having joined that church when Rev. Hoshour was the pastor. For about 30 years she was the efficient superintendent of the Sunday school of the church. She was a very faithful worker, and was always found among the foremost in all matters pertaining to the church.
Her husband, Peter J. Adams, died about 14 years ago.
She is survived by one son, John U. Adams, who was at one time editor of the old Daily News; and five granddaughters, Miss Sarah Adams, Mrs. Harry R. Rudy, Mrs. Elmer Plant, Mrs. Clyde Wilson, all of this city; and Mrs. J.W. Seaman, Washington, DC. Two sisters also survived, Mrs. Susan Snook, Springfield, WV; and Mrs. Mary J. Lowery, Maugansville, who is not visiting in Illinois.
The arrangements for the funeral have not yet been made.
