Thomas Edward Adams

For the past twenty years Thomas Edward Adams has successfully managed and
operated the Beatrice Steel Tank Manufacturing Company at Beatrice. He was born
at Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa, August 25, 1871, and for the past 40
years has lived in Nebraska. His father, Thomas Adams, who was a farmer, was
born in Kentucky and died in Iowa; his ancestry was Scotch-English and German,
and he is a descendant of the distinguished early American Adams family. Martha
Ann (Bell) Adams, mother of Thomas Edward Adams, was born in the south, and was
descended from Scotch and English farmers.

Mr. Adams was apprenticed to a trade at the age of twelve years and had several
years experience in various parts of the country. For twenty years he was
connected with a manufacturing company at Beatrice, in several capacities, and
in 1911 he organized the Beatrice Steel Tank Manufacturing Company of which he
is now president and general manager. Aside from his activities in the latter
organization Mr. Adams has a financial interest in industry and real estate.

A Democrat, he has never held public office, but has always taken an interest in
public affairs in his community and state. During the World War, Mr. Adams was
chairman of war activities in connection with finance in Gage County. He holds
membership in the Nebraskana Society.

On June 25, 1899, he was united in marriage with Okolona Miller at Beatrice.
Mrs. Adams, who was an educator before her marriage, was born in Illinois,
November 9, 1878; her ancestry is Scotch. To this marriage three children were
born: Ruth Ann, born April 19, 1901, who married M. E. Dole, superintendent of
the Beatrice Steel Tank Manufacturing Company; Thomas Earl, born July 20, 1905,
secretary of the Beatrice Steel Tank Manufacturing Company; and James Clifford,
born November 3, 1911, who is a student at the University of Nebraska. Mr. Adams
is vitally interested in his children’s progress and has always maintained a
close association with them.

Residence: Beatrice.
