Adams of Wesley community to learn of his serious illness from typhoid fever. While his condition is serious hopes are entertained for his recovery. The Butler Herald Thursday, July 18, 1918 Page One Mr. J.H. Adams Crosses Great Divide The Herald, with hundreds of other Taylor County citizens, deplore the death of Mr. John H. Adams which occurred at his residence in the northwestern part of the county Tuesday afternoon about 7 o’clock. Mr. Adams had been ill for quite a while with typhoid fever, which was of a very malignant type, and while he had the best of medical attention, yet no medical treatment or nursing could abate the ravages of this dread disease. Mr. Adams was about 48 years of age and was not only regarded as one of Taylor County’s best and most honorable citizens in the community in which he lived but was so regarded throughout the county. Mr. Adams was a model farmer, so that crops of all kind responded fully and freely to his magic touch and was looked upon as standard authority in the agricultural realms of the county. He was also a very public spirited man, and a leader in those things which were for the betterment of conditions in the county. He took a very active part in the fairs which have made this county famous throughout southwest Georgia. And so with every public enterprise, Mr. Adams was fully identified. But above all, Mr. Adams was a Christian – one whose walk and every day life was in accordance with the profession which he made. His Christian affiliations were made with the Primitive Baptist Church at Shiloh, and not only the church, but the entire community have sustained an irreparable loss. He leaves a heart-broken wife and five children to mourn their sad loss in the death of husband and father. The remains of Mr. Adams were laid to rest at Shiloh cemetery yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock, funeral service conducted by Elders Fuller and Monsees.
