Rev. Geo. Adams passed away about four o'clock Wednesday evening, after an illness of several weeks. Mr. Adams was formerly Pastor of the Baptist church of this place and since his connection with the church ceased, has lived here preaching occasionally as his health would permit. Last fall while on a visit to a daughter, he was attacked by a disease which he supposed was rheumatism. Since then his health has rapidly declined and some four or five weeks ago he became bedfast. Everything possible was done for him, from the first the physicians gave no encouragement. And surrounded by brother, sister, son and daughters he breathed his last. The funeral service was held in the Baptist church conducted by Rev. Orr Campbell. Friday the remains were taken to Grinnell for interment. The G.A.R. Post of which he was a member, attended as escort.
