Death of John Adams
The Veteran Glass Manufacturer Ends His Days Peacefully
There will be many persons in the two cities who will read with sincere sorrow this morning the news that John Adams, the well known glass manufacturer, is dead. His demise took place yesterday at his residence in Hazelwood. Mr. Adams had been in poor health for some time, and had been out West several months in the hope of improvement. He returned about ten days ago, the trip having failed to benefit him, and crossed the river of death yesterday, surrounded by his family and sorrowing friends.
John Adams was fifty eight or sixty years of age, and was one of the pioneer glass manufacturers of Pittsburgh. He was head of the firm of John Adams & Co., whose tableware factory of South Tenth street, is the largest of the kind in the country. He was noted for energy, industry and business tact, as well as for great liberality and charity. He was one of the largest and most regular and constant contributors to the Association for the Improvement of the Poor, a society that will greatly miss him. He had lived on the South side nearly all his life until four or five years ago, when he removed to a magnificent residence in Hazelwood. While he lived on the south Side, he was a consistent and active member of the Bingham Street M. E. Church.
Mr. Adams at the time of his death was President of the National Association of Flint Glass Manufacturers. He was also a director of the Chamber of Commerce, was one of the original members of the Ormsby Street Railway Company and was largely interested in several other corporations as well as banking institutions. He took a rather active part in politics, and was prominent in the Republican Independent movement four years ago. The only office he ever held was that of member of City Councils, he having served several terms as such. He leaves one son, Adolph Adams, a member of the firm, and one daughter, who is the wife of Rev. Charles Deems."
