Joins Husband. - Mrs. Gilbert Adams passes away at the home of her daughter. - She had been ill for several months and serious for weeks.

It was with great regret that the many friends learned of the death of Mrs. Gilbert Adams who passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Merman Westfall, one mile north of Carnahan church on the Fox pike, Thursday at 10:40 a. m. as announced in yesterday's Times.

Mrs. Adams became ill at her home on West Oak street last April and her condition became worse two months ago. She was taken to the Union City hospital two weeks ago. After one week at the hospital she was released to her home on Oak street, and from there was taken to the home of her daughter.

She received every care and attention together with the best of medical service, but the Grim Reaper would not be denied. She closed her eyes in peaceful sleep at the time stated above and rejoined her husband who preceded her to the better land some four years ago. He was a civil war veteran.

Mrs. Mary Jane Adams was the daughter of John and Betsy (Ohler) Worth, and she was born April 4, 1855, and was therefore some months past eighty years of age at the time of her death.

She was born on the old Worth place, near Springhill where she grew up and she attended the old Springhill school, which building by the way has been converted into a comfortable summer home by Mrs. Adam's brother, I. N. Worth.

She was married to Gilbert Adams Nov. 5, 1874, and they went to housekeeping one mile south of Union City. She with her family also lived near Greenville and later moved to South Jackson pike, where they resided for more than thirty-five years. She and her family moved to Union City eleven years ago and since then she lived here.

She was the mother of the following children: D. Web Adams, Fox pike; Roy Adams, Union City; Mrs. [Pearl]Herman Westfall, near Carnahan church; Arthur, who died 23 years ago; Oscar died at the age of 5 years, and Alva, who died in infancy.

Mrs. Adams was a splendid Christian woman and a member of the Methodist church and Ladies' Aid and during her years of activity she was always ready to do more than her share of any good work that needed to be done.

She was a good mother and faithful wife and she lived and wrought for her family. She was a woman of a pleasant disposition and was beloved by all who knew her, and a host of friends will sincerely mourn her passing. The Times wishes to join these in extending sympathy to the bereaved relatives.

Besides the above she is survived by one sister, Mrs. Lydia Bickel, Coletown, O., three half-brothers, I. Newton Worth of Indianapolis, Tom Worth, Union City, George Worth of California; one foster son, Robert Adams, and one grandson, George Gilbert Westfall of Carnahan.

The funeral will be held from the late home of the departed on West Oak street, Sunday, at 2 p. m. conducted by Rev. Earl Lantz and Rev. Barton. Interment in the Union City cemetery.
