Mr. J. D. Adams, who lived six miles east of Billings, died Thursday, April 28th. For more than two years he has suffered greatly from cancer, and the end was expected.
Mr. Adams was born in Rock Castle County, Kentucky, May 21st, 1850. At the age of sixteen he united with the Baptist Church. A few years later he moved to Winchester, Kansas, where he lived till about six years ago, when he took up his residence in Red Rock and together with Mr. Coleman of that place erected many of the substantial structures of that little city. Three years ago he moved to the farm where he died. He was twice married and a daughter from the first marriage, living in Topeka, Kansas, reached his bedside just a day or two before her father lapsed into unconsciousness. He leaves in the home a wife and ten children to mourn his death. He was a kind father and loving husband, and was loved and esteemed by all who knew him. A large gathering of friends at the time of the burial was an appropriate expression of sympathy with the sorrowing. The services were conducted by the pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian church, and interment was in the Owens cemetery, eight miles east of Billings.
