Capt. Alfred Adams, deceased, late of
Rapids City, was born in Orange Co., Vt.,
Sept. 6, 1818. Early in life he came to
Indiana, and was engaged in steamboating
on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, a
more extensive account of which is given in
the sketch of A. B. E. Adams.
Capt. Adams came to Rapids City in 1852, and
became one of the prominent business men of
the place. He lived there until his death,
which occurred March 24, 1882. Politically,
he was a Republican, but at the time of the
Know-Nothing party he was a member of that
organization. He was an active, energetic man,
and worked hard, and with considerable degree
of success until his retirement from active
business.
