LEWIS C. ADAMS.

   Lewis C. Adams is well deserving of representation in this volume as one of
the leading and representative citizens of Bartholomew county and it is with
pleasure that we present to our readers the history of his life, for he has been
an active and energetic business man and one whose career will bear the closest
investigation and scrutiny. He was born in Rock Creek township on the 1st of
November, 1862, and is a son of William C. and Sarah J. (Phillips) Adams, a
record of whom is found on another page.

   On the old home farm Lewis C. Adams was reared. He is indebted to the public
school system of his native county for the educational privileges he enjoyed and
to his father for his business training. At an early age he began working with
his father and gained from him experience and instruction, valuable lessons
which have proven helpfull to him as he has carried on farm work upon his own
account.

   Mr. Adams was married on the 1st of November, 1883, to Miss Lizzie
Friedersdorff, daughter of Lewis and Amelia (Schirff) Friedersdorff, both of
whom were natives of Germany. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Adams has been blessed
with three children: William J., Lena L. and Mary. Mr. and Mrs. Adams received
good educational privileges and realize the value of excellent mental training
as a preparation for life's practical and responsible duties.

   Mr. Adams is connected with his mother and family in the ownership of three
hundred and sixty-five acres of valuable land in Rock Creek township. He carries
on general farming and also raises good grades of cattle, sheep and hogs. In
1884 he built an attractive and commodious residence and has greatly improved
his property in other ways. His land is well tiled, the fields are richly
cultivated and the neat and thrifty appearance of his place indicates his
careful supervision. His entire time has been devoted to farm work and he has
earned for himself creditable and well merited success. Keen and clear-headed,
always busy, always careful and conservative in financial matters, moving slowly
and surely in every transaction, he has few superiors in the steady progress
which invariably reaches the objective point.
