Local Painter, Paperhanger Died Suddenly
George Adams, 61, a resident of this city for the past 18 years and well known painter and paperhanger, died suddenly last night at his home at 121 Bennett Street, apparently the victim of a heart attack.
Although he had been in ill health for the past six months, and suffered from heart trouble and asthma, he had worked Friday and Saturday, although complaining of being ill and went into his bedroom to lie down. A summons to dinner by his wife went unanswered, and she entered the room to find him sprawled on the floor.
An examination by Dr. Harry N. March disclosed that he was dead.
Deceased was a native of Alexandria, Virginia, but spent his boyhood and early manhood in Washington, D. C. When the call to arms sounded for the Spanish-American war, he enlisted in the navy, and served for three years on a collier supplying the fleet.
After his discharge from the navy, Adams decided to make his home in this state, and has been a resident of Oakland and Grass Valley for the past forty years.
Surviving his death are his wife, Mrs. Hilma Adams, and a brother and sister residing in the east.
The body was taken in charge by the Holmes Funeral Home, where funeral arrangements are pending word from relatives.
