SKETCH OF MRS. ADAMS
The Funeral Services Were Held Today - Her Death Was Sudden
The remains of Mrs. Eleanor Adams, sister of Mrs. Franklin Ogden, came in Wednesday evening from St. Augustine, Florida, where she died. The remains were accompanied by her nephew, Thomas Adams.
Mrs. Adams died in St. Augustine, Florida on Sunday, July 22, of heart trouble. She has been in the habit of going to Florida to escape the severe northern winters. She has been ailing with heart trouble for a long time and about two weeks ago was taken with a severe attack from which her physician in St. Augustine thought she was recovering. Her nephew, Thomas Adams, and family live in St. Augustine and it was thought by him that Mrs. Adams could be taken to Chicago in a couple of weeks to visit her daughter, Mrs. George B. Burns. Sunday morning Mrs. Adams was lying down resting. The nurse had been in the room and she was sleeping. The next time the nurse came in Mrs. Adams had passed away. She went to sleep to waken in heaven, and this had always been her wish, that when her time finally came she might leave this life in a peaceful, quiet way. There was no one with her at the time of her death, but Thomas Adams had been there the night before and had felt greatly encouraged over the apparent improvement in his aunt's condition.
Sketch of Her Life.
Mrs. Adams was born on May 14, 1823, near Bellefontaine, Ohio, where she lived for a number of years. She moved to Joliet and there, was married to Peter Adams. Three children were born to them, they being Eddie Adams, deceased; Libby Adams, deceased, and George B. Adams, now living in Chicago. They next came to Galesburg, about thirty-five years ago, where Mr. Adams died, and this has been the home of Mrs. Adams ever since. Mrs. Adams was a faithful Christian and a member of the Presbyterian church, and when in active church work was a member of the societies of that church. She was one of those women of beautiful character whom everyone likes to meet and who spread sunshine everywhere they go. She could go anywhere and be at home and make others feel so, a rare gift which she was endowed with. She was genial and pleasant to all making friends wherever she went. She had no fears of death, for she trusted in her God. At one time she said "I have no fears of death," so it is known from this that she realized that she was not long for this life.
Mrs. Adams was one of a family of twelve children, all of which are dead except four. The following survive her: Her sisters, Mrs. W.W. Porter, Santa Ana, Cal.; Mrs. John Gilbert, Evansville, Ind.; Mrs. J.W. Partridge, Denver, Colo.; Mrs. Franklin Ogden, Galesburg, and her daughter, Mrs. George B. Burns of Chicago.
The funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. Ogden this forenoon and were largely attended. They were conducted by Rev. Dr. Soares. The singing was by a quartet consisting of Mrs. John Coolidge, Miss Aldrich, Mr. Selleck and Leo Spring. Their selections were "Rock of Ages," "Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me," and "Abide With Me." The pallbearers were Messrs. E.R. Drake, E.T. Maury, S.H. McOmber, Lyon, W.A. Robbins and I.H. Barton. The burial was in Linwood cemetery.
