Petoskey Record 1 Jan 1896
"Mr William E Adams who moved here last spring, died on Monday morning at 3 
o'clock of carbuncle on the neck, aged 68 years lacking ten days. Mr Adams was 
born in Luffborough, England, and when 4 years of age left the old country with 
his mother, brother, and sister for America. The vessel was wrecked and his 
mother and sister were lost, himself and little brother being saved by a couple 
of brave sailors, and brought to Boston. In 1858 he removed to Bellvue, Canada, 
& afterwards established the first knitting mill in the Dominion at Ancaster. 
In 1888 he moved to Detroit & settled, but for reasons of health decided to 
make Petoskey his permanent home, & last spring purchased 10 acres next west of 
Dr Engle's property on Kalamazoo Ave, & this fall completed one of the best 
residences in the city, in which he was expected to pass the remaining years of 
a life which promised to extend into a green old age, for he was an 
exceptionally vigorous man. The funeral service was held at the residence at 
8'oclock on Wednesday morning. Rev R S McGregor officiating, & the remains 
accompanied by the family left on the 9:20 train on the G R & I for Paris, 
Ontario, where the interment will take place. Mr Adams was a member of the 
Methodist church, & leaves a wife & 6 children, 4 sons & 2 daughters, of which 
one, John W Adams is a resident of Petoskey."
