Bio:
The community was shocked Monday noon when word was received of the sudden death of Jesse J. Adams, well known Eden Township farmer.
Following prayer service at 2 Thursday at the residence, funeral services were at Schaller Methodist church at 2:30, Rev. W. H. Lease, officiating, burial in Early Union cemetery.
A mixed quartet of Schaller high school students - Bertha McLaughlin, Arlene Grohe, Bruce McQuigg and Don Potter - sang two numbers, Mrs. Glen Walker directing.
Mr. Adams, his son Gerald and neighbors were threshing at the Adams farm Monday morning. Mr. Adams, in apparently good health, was pitching bundles. He complained toward noon that he did not feel well, and went to the house to rest before dinner. When the men came from the field they found he was in much pain. Dr. J. R. Dewey was summoned and responded immediately but before he reached the home Mr. Adams had died. Heart trouble was given as the cause of death.
Like other farmers in this area, Mr. Adams had worked long hours all spring and summer.
Jesse James Adams was born Oct. 29, 1884 to Jacob and Agnes Porter Adams of Arlington, Ind. In 1907 he came to Odebolt and worked on the Cook ranch, coming to Schaller in 1909.
June 29, 1910, he married Miss Lillian Thorpe of Early. They came to Schaller and this was their home until 1920 when he took up farming, following it until his death at the age of 58 years 10 months, 1 day.
In 1918 Mr. and Mrs. Adams opened their home to two small nephews, Frank and Gerald Christian who lost their mother during the flu epidemic. They made a home for the boys until they were of age, having legally adopted Gerald when he was a week old. Gerald, a corporal, was given honorable discharge from the army in June while in training at Fort Riley, Kans. to assist on the farm.
Mr. Adams was a kind husband and father, a good neighbor, loyal and true to his friends.
He is survived by his grief-stricken wife, a sister, Mrs. Lizzie Cottingham of Arlington, Ind.; nephews, Myron Adams of Storm Lake and Max Adams with the army in Alaska, and three nieces, Miss Alice Adams of Chicago, Mrs. Victor Robinson and Mrs. Albert Nichols of Storm Lake, and other relatives.
Pall bearers were John M. Harris, Henry Stoelting, F. A. Baker, R. R. Wandrey, Edwin Schaefer and Walter Franken.
