Obituary, Bloomington Evening World, Thursday, Sept 10, 1914
Squire William L Adams, 83 years old and one of the best known old soldiers of the county died at 5:30 this morning at his home on east Cottage Grove avenue after an illness of several months. Mr. Adams was a member of the 117th Regiment and has been a resident of this county many years. He is survived by the widow, three daughters and one son. He was a member of the Bloomington Post G.A.R. and was faithful in attendance at all the meetings until his health failed. Funeral will be held at ten o’clock Saturday morning in the G.A.R. Hall in the Court house. The Rev. W. H. Smith will conduct the services and interment will take place at the Mt. Gilead Cemetery. Pall bearers: David Patton, Henry Morse, John Back, David Stidd, John Millis and Sam Stephens.
William L. and Martha E. Adams lived in Bloomington, Indiana. The following excerpt is from her obituary:
she was married to William L. Adams who was also a veteran of the Civil War. On Sept. 10, 1914, Mrs. Adams was again left a widow since which time she made her home with her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. George Rickman
Martha E. Alexander Adams gave an oral history to the Bloomington Evening World, Nov 21, 1921. Here is an excerpt: “One reason I am so sure that my memory is correct in this instance is the fact that at the time my late husband, Squire William Adams, who died September 10, 1914, at the age of 84 years, was living, and he and I talked of the strange coincidence of the death of Mr. Dunn and the felling of the family orchard.”
She also speaks of attending meetings at the Bloomington Post G.A.R.
Note: Martha E. Banta, who died in Carrolton, KY, most likely never married William Adams of Bloomington. Possibly she married Will Adams of Carrolton. Thanks to Linda Sawyer for her careful research on this memorial.
