In the passing of Mr. Adams,
nearly the last of the residents of

was united in marriage with Miss
Maria Cox and commenced house-
keeping on the Arnold Cox farm,
which he purchased. He was, with
his wife, active members of the
West Middlebury Baptist church,
retaining his membership there.
About 27 years ago Mr. Adams re-
moved to Wyoming (NY), purchasing
the Watkins property on South
Academy street, and there Mrs.
