EDWARD ADAMS, M. D.
    While engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery at De Valls Bluff only
since 1915, Dr. Edward Adams has continuously and successfully followed his
profession since 1901, the year of his graduation from the Chattanooga Medical
College. He is a native son of Tennessee, his birth having occurred in Nashville
on the 9th of January, 1878. his parents being Reuben and Mollie (Griffin)
Adams, both of whom were born in the vicinity of Nashville. Reuben Dalton Adams,
the paternal grandfather, was a native of eastern Tennessee, in which state the
parents of Dr. Adams continued their residence and reared their three sons and
two daughters: Raymond, Lena, Harvey, Edward and Cora The last named is now
deceased.

    Dr. Edward Adams, spending his youthful days under the parental roof,
completed his public school education by graduation from the high school at
Tiptonville, Tennessee, while later he continued his studies in the University
of Tennessee and prepared for his professional career as a student in the
Chattanooga Medical College. He located for practice in Reelfoot, Tennessee, in
1901 and there remained until 1912, when he removed to Arkansas, settling at
Little Rock. After three years' practice in the capital city he came to De Valls
Bluff in 1915 and here he has since remained. His practice has steadily grown in
volume and importance as the public have come to recognize his skill and ability
in his chosen calling. He has kept in touch with the trend of modern
professional thought and progress by wide reading and study and is thoroughly
familiar with the latest scientific discoveries in the field of medicine and
surgery. During the war he was assistant county medical examiner and also a
member of the Medical Reserve Corps.

    In 1902 Dr. Adams was united in marriage to Miss Bettie Howard, a daughter
of Andrew Howard of Roe, Arkansas, and to them have been born two children,
Quincy and Geraldine. The son is now assistant superintendent of the Hazen high
school. He was graduated at the University of Arkansas when but eighteen years
of age, winning his Bachelor of Arts degree at that time, a fact which indicates
the special aptitude which he displayed in his studies and his keen mentality.
Dr. Adams has always been a stalwart champion of the cause of education and is
serving as a member of the school board at De Valls Bluff. Fraternally he is a
Mason, exemplifying in his life the beneficent spirit of the craft, and he is an
equally consistent and faithful member of the Christian church.
