Grey Uniform Is His Shroud
J. M. Adams, father of J. Oscar Adams of Spokane, died last Thursday at Medical Lake. The remains were brought to Ritzville Saturday afternoon, the auto hearse bringing the body and interment took place in the Ritzville cemetery. Mr. Adams was a long-time resident of this city. He was keenly interested in politics and a staunch democrat.
The following is taken from the Spokesman-Review of Saturday morning. Owing to the fact that none of the relatives reside here now a full obituary is unobtainable:
"Clad in the full glory of his old gray conferderate uniform, James H. Adams, age 78, Ritzville pioneer, will be buried in Ritzville today. Services will be held this morning at 9 o'clock form the New England undertaking establishment in Spokane.
"For more than half a century, in fact since he took off the insigna of the south's futile cause and laid it way at the close of the Civil War, Mr. Adams had saved his uniform for his shroud.
He loved the south with an intense passion and was proud that he had fought in its cause.
"During his life he often took out the uniform and looked at it, speaking of the time when he could put it on again for the great campaign.
"Mr. Adams was born in Pennsylvania county, Virginia, 78 years ago. He served in the Confederate Army throughout the Civil war. Twenty-five years ago he moved to Ritzville where he served as general land agent for the Northern Pacific. He was a charter member of the Ritzville Baptist church.
"He is the father of eight sons, seven of whom survive him. They are E. M. Adams, Connell, Wash.; the Rev. J. C. Adams, Spokane; J. Oscar Adams, Spokane; the Rev. J. D. B. Adams, Louisville, Kentucky; W. W. Adams, missionary, Shantung, China; D. C. Adams, Denton, Mont.; T. J. Adams,
