Waverly Journal, Nov. 13, 1903
Littleton Adams was born July 16, 1816, in North Carolina, near Salem. When about 5 years of age his parents moved to Kentucky, and then in a few years to Illinois, settling near Jacksonville where in 1854 he located on the farm north of Waverly where he spent his long and successful life, passing peacefully away Nov. 6, at the home of his son, James Adams, surrounded by his surviving children, being in his 86th year.
The deceased was married to Miss Elizabeth Chrisman. To this union was born 11 children, namely - Mary, James, Georgia, Nancy, Georgian, Ida, Anna, Lee, Fred, Lucinda; one dying in infancy. Four of these children preceded their father to that heavenly country.
Bro. Adams was converted to God under the pastoral labors of Rev. H. M. Hamilsome 19 years ago. His conversation was very marked and satisfactory to all present. His profession at that time has ever borne good fruit by a humble, patient and Godly life.
As a citizen Mr. Adams was universally respected and esteemed, but being of a quiet and tend-to-his-own-business fort of man he never sought for any political office in the county.
As a father to his children it was observed that the saying of the wise man was fulfilled, "The glory of children are their fathers." He was beloved by his children.
