The Vidette - October 21, 1937
In the home in which she had lived all her married life and which had always been pointed out as one of the best rural homes in the county, there died Sept. 23 one of the oldest native citizens of Tishomingo County and the oldest citizen of Iuka, Mrs. Priscilla Adeline Adams, widow of the late Mack D. Adams. In fact Mrs. Adams was older than the town, having been born on the spot where the Brinkley home now stands before the town of Iuka was built. She was the daughter of Rev. Lemuel Hubbard, who with his brother, David R. Hubbard, owned all the land upon which the town was built and which was bought by the Iuka Township Co.
Mrs. Adams had seen the town grow from its inception. She had seen methods of transportation change from the lowly ox wagon which was the common mode of travel in the early days to the train and later to the automobile. In all this growth she had been an interested observer.
Her home life was beautiful and the pleasant country home over which she ruled as loving mother was the gathering place of many relatives and friends, where an abundant hospitality was dispensed. But for more than a year she had been more or less confined to the house on account of failing eyesight.
Besides her two daughters, Mrs. V. E. Ware of Iuka and Mrs. Mack Sanders. There was a niece, Miss Brit Adams to whom she had been a mother for about nineteen years. She also had a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ruby Adams of Memphis, and four grandchildren, Leon, Hazel, Loraine and Ruth Lane, and two aged sisters, Madams Fannie Fairless and W. L. Hundley both of Tishomingo.
Mrs. Adams was a life long devout member of the Pleasant Hill Methodist Church, which her father founded and of which he was the first pastor.
