     Edmund H. Adams, president of the Adams Hardware and Furniture Company,
was born in Rock County, Wis., September 18, 1850, and is the son of 
William P. Adams, a native of New York, and Susan E. (Dolittle) Adams, a 
native of Canada.  In an early day the parents moved to Beloit, where the 
father followed merchandising for many years, and where he still lives.  
Edmund H. Adams is the only living child of their family.  He received an 
ordinary education in the public schools of Beloit, and at the age of 
fourteen years commenced clerking in a store.  In 1869 he went to St. Louis,
where he spent seven years, three years as salesman, and four years in the 
Exchange Bank.  In 1877 he came to Lamar, and has since been engaged in the 
hardware and furniture business.
