Bertha Frances was born in Christian County, Kentucky, to George Washington Hall and Isabella Frances Capps Hall, who married in approx.1885. They had ten children, with Bertha being their fourth. The Hall family came to Arkansas in a covered wagon from KY. George and Isabella are buried in the Duty Cemetery, Randolph County, Arkansas.

Bertha's siblings were: Minnie Alice, George Alva, Mary Ellen, Addie Tilda, Ollie Clinton, Ruth Inez, Verla Lee, Onia Ethel, and Earl Edward Hall.

Bertha Frances married Zed Edward Adamson on Dec. 24, 1908, in Randolph County, AR. Zed was born in Wright County, Missouri, and was a blacksmith. They had five children: Edith Mildred, Dessie Irine, Edna Mabyn, Buel Edward, and Kenneth Neal, all born in Dalton, Randolph County, AR. The oldest girls, Edith and Dessie, died when they were children, and did not survive their mother and father.

Nine grandchildren survived Bertha: Betty Jean Hosford Collins, Doris Ellen Adamson Pounders, Mary Katherine Adamson Anderson, Raymond Dale "Sonny" Adamson, Larry Neal Adamson, Elizabeth Ann Adamson Buffington, Linda Frances Adamson Gilbert, Jerry Wayne Adamson, and Dennis Franklin Adamson.

Mrs. Adamson was a member of the Red Oak Baptist Church, north of Marked Tree, AR, for many years. She was a caretaker for her husband, (after he became bedridden from a stroke); a farm worker who chopped cotton during the summer, and picked cotton during the fall; a homemaker who was the best cook in the county; a maker of homemade, handquilted quilts; a seamstress for her family and for others; a grocery store and variety store clerk; and a teacher to her grandchildren, whom she taught sewing, quilting, yeast roll making, butter churning, canning, coconut cake and fruitcake making, and gardening. She was the greatest woman that anyone ever knew.

Mrs. Adamson died from a heart attack while visiting with her daughter, Edna Hosford, at Edna's home in Marked Tree, AR.

She was buried at the Marked Tree Cemetery, on a cold, snowy February day along side her husband, who had died Sept. 24, 1956, from complications of a stroke which left him an invalid many years before.
