DEATH OF FRANK ADAMS
 
Passes Quietly Away at His Home Surrounded by Loved Ones
 
Last Saturday morning the people of Cambridge were somewhat surprised by the 
distribution of funeral notices announcing the funeral of Frank Adams, who 
passed away at 3:50 a. m. on Saturday, August 31st.  The end came very 
peacefully, he apparently suffering no pain whatever.  A couple of hours 
before his death he tried to speak to his family but was unable to do so.  
From that time on he gradually sank, death overtaking him in a stupor.  All of 
the family, including his brother Andy, were present and surrounded his bed, 
excepting  Mrs. Doug West, who did not arrive until next day.  Funeral 
services were held in the Salubria Baptist church, from which place a large 
concourse of friends followed the remains to that final resting place from 
which none return to tell of the mystery which may lie beyond.
 
Frank Adams was born in Cornwall, England, October 13, 1833, and was nearly 68 
years old.  In 1850 he married Mary Chapman and to them were born five 
children, two daughters and three sons, all of whom live in this 
neighborhood.  In 1875 he settled in Salubria valley, and during the same year 
his family joined him.
 
Here he has since lived a quiet, industrious and peaceable life.  Frank was 
always a jolly, good natured fellow, and no one can justly say that he ever 
intentionally wronged them.  He always contended for his rights and was 
willing to accord others the same privilege.  He counted his friends by the 
scores, and his enemies were few.  His life was a practical demonstration of 
the fact that it was possible for a man to be successful and be honest.
 
In the death of Frank Adams the community has lost one of its best citizens, 
and the family an affectionate and considerate husband and father.  We extend 
our sympathies to those who sorrow.
