Ernest was the son of Bluford W and Mary M Adamson.
An educated man, Ernest attended Trinity University in about 1886 in Tehuacana, Texas.*
He married Linne Mae Clark in 1909. They had no children.
He owned a mercantile store in Mexia. Delivering a load of lumber in a horse-pulled wagon, he was killed when the wagon overturned and the lumber fell on him.
The stone was erected by Mae. When she died 28 years later, neighbors (specificially a lawyer and his wife) went into her home and took everything valuable. Left for her family was only the house, old photographs and a few pieces of furniture that the neighbors didn't steal. Today, the daughter of Mae's great niece Lois Toone West treasures a small china tea set and a china tray, as well as the old photographs.
*Trinity University opened in Tehuacana 1869, but moved in 1902 to San Antonio, where it operates still.
