On 11 Apr 1869, Adam married Marcilla "Siller" Grimes. They had a large family: David Franklin, Julia, Nathaniel, Thomas, Miriam, Susie, Ida, Hoke, Efird, and Hattie.
About 1912 they decided to have a family celebration at either his birthday in July or hers in Sept. for all the Conrad families to get together. Everyone brought food and enjoyed a day of fun and visiting at the old family farm. This tradition is still carried on, however not at the old homeplace since it burned down in 1980. It is now held at Holly Grove Lutheran Church on the 2nd Sunday in June.
Losing his wife Siller in 1931, Adam lived on the homeplace with his youngest son, Efird, until his death 26 Feb 1942.
