An Old Settler Gone
Jabez Adams who has been a resident of Lincoln Township for more than thirty years, died Wednesday at his home five and one-half miles southwest of this city.
Mr. Adams had been prominent for many years and served the county as its Superintendent of Public instruction for four years.
His entire life after coming to Kansas was spent on the farm which he preempted and where he died. For a good many years he taught school around Quenemo which helped him to earn a living during the dull days that followed after his coming to Kansas.
Mr. Adams for the past 2 years had been afflicted with cancer which was the cause of his death. He leaves but one brother, Will, of near Pamona and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Rachel Adams. Funeral services were held at the home this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
