Thomas J. Adams, a resident of this section for many years, died at his farm home a short distance east of Weimar, last Thursday evening at 6 o'clock after an illness of several weeks, aged about 73 years.
The funeral took place at the Masonic cemetery Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock and was attended by relatives and many friends of the deceased.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. G. T. Gibbons of the Methodist church, and Rev. Isaac Sellers.
Hon. J. C. Kindred, a former war comrade also paid a touching tribute to the memory of Mr. Adams, with whom he was intimately associated for years during the Civil War. Mr. Adams was a native of Tennessee. At an early age he enlisted in the Confederate army, and proved a gallant and faithful soldier of the "Lost Cause."
He had resided in this section for many years. and was known to all as an honest, and straightforward man, one whose word was as good as his bond. He was industrious, charitable to a fault, and possessed a large circle of friends throughout this section.
He had never married and the only near relative surviving that we know of is his sister, Mrs. B. F. Mitchell of San Antonio.
"Uncle Tom", as he was familiarly called, will be sadly missed by many friends in and around Weimar. Peace to his memory.
