Obituary of John Hutchinson Adams 
as written in "The Bainbridge Post Search Light" dated 29 Jan 1907.  

Brother J. H. Adams was born on the 9th of April, 1838 (?) 
and died on the 27th of January, 1907.  He was a native of Decatur County, Ga., where he 
made his home throughout his entire life.  He was married to Sarah Elizabeth Knight in 
April 1858 (?).  They lived happily together until the 1st day of March, 1905, when the 
angel of death took her from his side into the blessed home beyond. They both made a 
profession of faith and were baptized by Elder Peter Everett, into the fellowship of Olive 
Grove Primitive Baptist Church in August 1881, with which church they both retained 
consistent membership up to the time of their death.  Several years ago Brother Adams 
was ordained into the deacon ship of the church, which office he filled worthily up to his 
death.  Into their family were born nine children, three girls and six boys of whom the 
following survive:  J. M. Adams of Bainbridge, J. J. Adams of near Iron City, J. E, 
Adams of Cottonwood, Ala., J. S. Adams of Boyetteville, Ga., Mrs. Ida Yates of near 
Bainbridge, Mrs. D. L. Bledsoe of Iron City, Ga.  It was with the latter named daughter 
he was making his home at the time of his death. During the Civil War he was a member 
of Wheeler's Calvary and for four long years at the faithful call of his bugle were his 
comrades martialed for the orders of the day.  As a citizen, he proved himself faithful 
both in time of peace and of war.  As a neighbor he was peaceful and hospitable.  As a 
husband and father he was kind, affectionate and indulgent.  As a Christian he lived loyal 
to the faith of his church and died in the triumphs of a personal faith in Jesus Christ.  
Having been intimately associated with him in the home of his daughter, Mrs. D. L. 
Bledsoe, for the past several months, we had formed a very warm attachment for each 
other, and I had learned to esteem him very highly both as a Christian brother and as a 
personal friend.  May the God of all grace comfort and sustain the bereaved ones, and 
give them all hearts to love, trust and serve Him; and finally through riches of grace in 
Christ Jesus bring them reunited with their departed parents into His glorious presence.
