Richard Adams, 28, of route one, Lyons, was found dead at his home Thursday
evening by his brother.  Ionia County Sheriff Peter Van Vleck, and Coroner Dale

attended Ionia high school and was married April 10, 1951, to Joyce Sible of
Ionia.  They had spent all their married life in Ionia vicinity.  For the past
two weeks Adams was employed at Ionia State Hospital and had previously been
employed at Thompson Products in Portland.

Survivors include his wife, Joyce, and four children, Bryant 9, Mark 7, Scott 6,
