Mr. Walter Adams, son of the late Judge I. Adams, of Mexico, Mo., departed this life at Georgetown, Texas, March 30, 1880, aged 36 years, 5 months and 22 days.
He was born in Bowling Green, Pike county, Mo., October 8, 1844, and was married to Miss Julia A. Callaway, in Mexico, Missouri, January 23, 1868.
Mr. Adams had been a great sufferer for a number of years, having spent several years each in the States of Minnesota, Colorado and Texas, for the benefit of his health. From early childhood he was possessed of a spirit of gentleness and goodness -- always cheerful and self-sacrificing.
In the spring of 1863, he made a profession of religion, in the town of Ashley, Mo., at which place he was attending school, and immediately afterwards connected himself with the M. E. Church, South, in which relation he lived and died, an honest, devoted and zealous Christian; leaving behind him, we hope and believe, a blessed influence, that will live on and on. In all the relations of life, Walter Adams was a noble man. He had sorrows and afflictions; but was always submissive, knowing no will but God's-- bearing all things for the Master's sake; and we doubt not to-day, is supremely happy, in the Christian's heaven, in the land of the blessed, in the home of the weary.
