Last Rites Held Wednesday for Hilary E. Adams
Final rites were held Wednesday afternoon for Hilary E. Adams, long-time resident of Gonzales county. Services were conducted at the family residence here by Rev. D. L. Griffith, pastor of the First Baptist church, and interment was in the Denton Creek cemetery
Mr. Adams had been in failing health for a year and the end came at 10:15 o'clock Tuesday night at his home in the northern part of Gonzales. He was 60 years, 5 months and 22 days of age at the time of his death.
The life of Mr. Adams was a varied one, ranging from the mercantile business to farming and secretarial work. He was always active in public affairs of his community and was a devoted church member, taking a leading part in the work of his church until failing health prohibited.
He was born at Goliad on January 27, 1875 and was a son of Martha Ellen Hunter and William Dunham Adams, both natives of Missouri. When just a child Mr. Adams parents moved back to Missouri, and when a lad of only 10 or 11 years of age he came back to Texas with his parents, the family making the trip to Texas overland in a wagon train and settled above Austin. Later they moved to Gonzales where Mr. Adams has resided during most of 49 years.
At the age of 22, Mr. Adams was proprietor of a Dry Goods Store in Gonzales, known as the Star Shoe House, having Albert Levyson as his partner in the business. Two years later he went to English Texas, to accept a position with Stiles & Dennison as a bookkeeper, which post he held for five years until he returned to Gonzales county to take up farming and regain his health. In 1915 Mr. Adams organized the first Retail Merchants Credit Association in Gonzales and was its secretary for sometime. After giving up this post, he returned to the farm and was engaged in this business until a year or so prior to his death.
Mr. Adams was affiliated with the Old Guadalupe Baptist church and was a charter member of the Unity Baptist church. He was the first Sunday School superintendent of the Unity church and was also a teacher of the men's bible class and an acting deacon until his health became bad. He was also superintendent in 1920 of the Unity Sunday School at Maurin. Mr. Adams was an accomplished musician and violinist and possessed an exceptionally good voice, frequently lending his assistance to musical services in the church.
Mr. Adams received his education in Gonzales schools and later attended Hill's Business College in waco, where he completed a course in business and telegraphy. In later life he was a school trustee at Maurin for a number of years.
On September 27, 1903, Mr. Adams was united in marriage to Miss Anna Ryan, who survives him. To this union ten children were born, eight of whom survive. They are: Mrs. R. Borer of Waelder, Mrs. Byron Wilson of Moulton, Mrs. Clarence Yaws, of Runge, Hilary Adams Jr., of Yoakum, Misses Adele and Edna Adams and Paul and Calvin Adams of Gonzales.
Other survivors include: three brothers, Clarence and Walter Adams of Paris, Texas and Rolly Adams of Denton Creek; two sisters , Mrs. A. Richter and Mrs. Eugene Kopecky of Gonzales.
Funeral services, in charge of Robertson and Seydler, funeral directors, were conducted at the family residence in Gonzales at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, after which a short committal service was held at the family burial plot in the Denton Creek cemetery at 5 o'clock. His last resting place was beautiful, embowered with many floral tributes in memory of one who was an upright and useful citizen, an true friend, and a devoted father and husband.
During the services at the home, Mrs. Chas. F. Holmes sang "Just When I Need Him," an old favorite hymn of the deceased, with Mrs. Fred Boothe playing violin accompaniment and a quartet sang "Lead Kindly Light." Members of various church choirs and friends joined in singing "What A Friend We Have in Jesus" during the committal service.
