W. W. Adamson, farmer and stock dealer, section 10, is a native of Vernon County, 
Missouri, and was born October 18, 1847. His father, William Adamson, was a 
Kentuckian by birth, as was also his mother, whose maiden name was Frances 
Arbuckle, but she was raised in Missouri. The former came to the state in an 
early day, and settled in Vernon County, of which he was one of the pioneers. He 
died there in 1849. W. W. Adamson moved to Henry County with his mother in 
1850, and here grew to manhood on a farm, attending in youth the public schools. 
He was married in October, 1869, to Miss Eliza Finks, of Henry County, and a 
daughter of Captain Mark Finks. After this Mr. A. located on a farm north of 
Clinton, where he farmed for three years. In 1873, he settled near Montrose, and 
in the spring of 1879, bought and came upon his present farm. He has 600 acres 
of land, all fenced, the homestead of 280 acres, being about two and a half miles 
northwest of Montrose. There is a large two-story stone residence on the place, 
and a good orchard of 300 bearing apple and some peach trees. He is one of the 
largest feeders and stock dealers in this county, and feeds annually from 150 to 
500 head of steers and about 500 hogs, and also handles about 500 cattle and 
1,000 hogs per annum. Mr. Adamson is a wide-awake business man, and one of the 
most successful farmers and stock dealers in the vicinity. He and his wife have a 
family of seven children: Alma, Katie, Tandy T., John M., Emma, Dadie and Eliza.
