From The Louisville Daily Courier, May 11, 1860:
SINGULAR DEATHS. - During the last few weeks as many as four old residents have died suddenly in the northern section of this county. On the 2d of March John Waddle, a well known citizen, arose well and hearty; he ate his breakfast, and engaged in the usual affairs of the day; before night, without the slightest premonition, he dropped dead. His age was 67. On Friday, the 9th, Jonathan Ferguson, aged 88, after having engaged in the usual routine of his daily avocations, also dropped dead. On May 5th Mrs. Miller, aged near 70, died in the same manner. On May the 6th Mr. Clement Adams, an esteemed and popular citizen, aged 60 years, apparently in fine health, while engaged in his usual business, also dropped dead. These deaths all occurred in the same vicinity, the deceased living within a few miles of each other. - Bowling Green Gaz.

"The mother, previous to her marriage, was Miss Caroline Adams, a daughter of Clement Adams, an old citizen and among the early settlers, coming when the state's untamed virginity had not yet been thoroughly subdued."

Muster Role of Militiamen of Hundred Year Ago Found By Miss Hattie Grider, City
Several of the eldest citizens of the county fail to recall hearing about the muster days held by the militia in the early part of the last century. But, from the scattered information obtainable, it seems that there was a company of militia organized in Bowling Green and another company in the county. At stated times they would meet for competitive drills and that day would be a holiday for the residents of this vicinity.
Among some interesting papers recently found by Miss Hattie Grider at her home on Fairview Ave., was the muster roll of the Captain Sampson Palmer company for the year October 1828 to October 1829.
The names of many of the pioneer citizens of Bowling Green are enrolled there. The list is printed below. Any further information concerning muster days will be appreciated by the NEWS.
Muster roll of Capt. Sampson Palmer Company for the year Oct. 1828 and Oct. 1829: Sampson Palmer, Captain, Preston G. Drake, John S. Jackson, father Matt Jackson, Thomas Hines, John Herd, Clement Adams, grandfather Ely Adams...

From the journal of Alford Love Davidson, who lived in Indianola, Kansas from 1857-1865:
"Clement Adams started home on the 7 April 58"
