In Memory of Mrs. Annie Belle Adams

Mrs. Annie Belle Adams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I.W. Garrett, was born in 
Taylor County, July 7th, 1882, was married to Mr. E.B. Adams, July 10th 1898, 
and departed this life, July 11th, 1913.

Sister Annie Belle was happily converted and joined the Methodist church under 
the ministry of the writer, August 1894, and it was no matter of surprise that 
she should unite herself with the people of Christ’s Kingdom at that tender 
age, when we consider the religious influence which had dominated her life from 
infancy in the home in which she was reared.  Her parents, and especially her 
mother being, not only a good Christian woman, but an earnest, zealous worker 
in every department of social and religious work which is open to women in this 
day of Christian advancement and progress.

Sister Annie Belle in childhood was very bright and vivacious, and not only 
that, but she had a very retentive memory, and it was often the comment of the 
writer upon the large number of verses from choice selections of the Bible 
which she was accustomed to quote at the Sunday school service, and with which 
her mind was so richly stored, so that when in the permissive dispensations of 
God’s providence she was called upon to lay in the silent grave three bright 
little girls, she found, that the God in whom she had trusted and put her 
confidence in childhood, was not only able but willing to keep and sustain her 
thru that trying ordeal.

It has been the writer’s pleasure not only to have known, but to have been 
intimately associated with this consecrated woman from early childhood until 
her death, when life’s sun shone with brightness and beauty, also, when life’s 
horizon was covered by dark clouds of sorrow and the heart was bleeding at 
every pore, yet she ever evidenced the sublimest trust and confidence in God, 
the Father, and an unyielding trait of Christian character.

She leaves to mourn her loss, a devoted father and mother, a broken hearted 
husband and three precious children, and one brother, besides a large number of 
relatives and a host of friends.

In love and sympathy,
J.T. Adams



Additional Comments:
Annie Belle Adams was the first wife of my great-grandfather, Ezekiel Boston 
Adams.  A portrait of E.B. and Annie Belle and three of their children is 
posted on the Taylor County page.  I would like to correspond with anyone 
connected to this family.
