"George K. Adams, an honored and respected citizen and prominent merchant of Indian Grove, Mo., was born three and one-half miles south of that place, October 9, 1862, the son of W.C. and Nancy (Bewley) Adams, being the second member of a family of eight children, two boys and six girls. Reared upon a farm and educated in the public schools of the district, in 1887 our subject entered the drug business at Indian Grove, Mo., which he continued until 1890 when he disposed of his business to open up a general merchandise establishment, in which business he is still engaged, enjoying a lucrative patronage.
On March 15, 1892, he was married to Miss Malinda Perrin of this county, and a daughter of Josephus and Malinda Perrin, former residents of Macon county. The fruit of this union is one child, Ina Ruth Adams, born January 1, 1893, a bright and pretty child, who is the pride of their fireside.
Our subject is one of the most prominent citizens of his locality and is highly respected by all who know him. He has always been upright and square in all his dealings with his fellowman, and is noted for his honor and veracity. He is a true blue democrat and an honored member of the Knights of the Maccabees." Historical, Pictorial, and Biographical Record of Chariton County, Missouri, 1896
