Aged 69 years, 1 month, 5 days.

Death of a Pioneer Lawyer
"The death of Judge Frederick Adams, from a stroke of apoplexy, last Sunday morning, Aug 17, 1902, cast a dark and sudden shadow over the city. In apparent good health, he was suddenly stricken and in a state of insomia lingered for about two hours, when the sign of life vanished forever.
Judge Adams was a native of Pennsylvania and about 69 years of age. He was a territorial pioneer of this state and a member of the society to which the remnant of his class belong. His first residence in this state was in the vicinity of Clarksville, whence he went to Yreka, Siskiyou County where he served as Under Sheriff before being admitted to the bar. We next find him in Grant County, Oregon, where he practiced law and beat Joaquin Miller for the office of County Judge. He served one term in the Oregon Legislature and when Idaho was organized he was made its first Federal Judge by President Lincoln. Resigning that post, he settled and followed his profession for several years in San Luis Obispo.
Five years ago he came to this city where he took front rank in his profession, and was at the time of his deatha prominent candidate for Superior Judge. He was a veteran of the Mexican War and an old school patriot in war and peace. He was a member of the Commandery of Knights Templar at San Luis Obispo, and of El Malakie Shrine of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of Los Angeles. A Pioneer Odd Fellow he was also past Grand Master of the Ancient Order of United Workmen.
By all brotherhoods of which he was a member, he will be greatly missed. An invalid wife and two daughters, Mrs. F. R. Tutt of Oakland and Mrs. H. A. Barkalew of Fresno survive him. They have the sympathy of the entire community."
