From Story County Watchman April 16, 1897

Colo Watchman.

Mrs. Orville H. Adams died quite suddenly at her home in the north end of town last Wednesday night. Mrs. Adams was held in high esteem by those who knew her most intimately. She was of a sunny disposition and was an incessant laborer of the United Evangelical church of which she was a devoted member. Her death was doubly sad because of an infant daughter which was born last Sunday. Mr. Adams has the sympathy of all who knew his bereavement.

From Story County Watchman April 23, 1897

Estella Pearl Adams was born in Story county, Iowa, January 1, 1877, and died April 15, 1897 aged 20 years, 3 months and 11 days. She was marrid to Orville H. Adams at Agency City, Iowa, September 17, 1895, since which time she has with her husband resided in Colo, Iowa. Mrs. Adams was an active member of the United Evangelical church, and an earnest Christian woman. The esteem in which she was held by the people was manifested to the large attendance at the funeral service, held on Friday at 2 p. m. at the house. Rev. Pickford conducted the service and interment was made in the Colo Cemetery. The death of Mrs. Adams has cast a gloom over the whole community and the sorrowing husband surely has the sympathy of all in his sad hour of trial and bereavement.
