Elijah L. Adams, son of Chester and Susan Adams, who came from Connecticut to this county in 1813, died April 28. He was born in 1824, built the first public house at Auburn Corners (known far and wide as the "Traveler's Home), married Phoebe Ann Bushnell in 1851, and in 1859 erected the first store in the place and was also appointed postmaster and served for 15 years. Squire Adams fought at Gettysburg and was a Past Commander of Lieut. H.C. Titman Post, G.A.R. He was elected a Justice of the Peace and, with the exception of one term, served in that position the remainder of his life. It was at his request that his comrades of the G.A.R. Post bare him to his last resting place in the Bunnell Cemetery. His widow, children and one sister, Mrs. Susan Millgrove, of Preston, Iowa, are left to mourn his demise.
