Author: Warner & Beers (1886)

   JAMES T. ADAMS, manufacturer, Findlay, was born in Perry County, Penn., April
22, 1825; son of William and Elizabeth (Ball) Adams, who came here in 1860.
William Adams was a worthy minister in the Church of God and died here in 1882,
leaving four sons and three daughters: Mary Ann, deceased wife of Levi Tarr, of
Wood County, Ohio; James T.; Sarah J.; Elizabeth, wife of John Ferguson, of
Liberty Township, this county; William B., hardware merchant, of Corunna, Ind.;
John and Newton, prominent business men in Findlay. The subject of our sketch
served an apprenticeship to the tinsmithing business in his native county, and,
upon coming to Findlay, Ohio, in 1854, embarked in hardware, tin and stone
business. In 1862 he engaged in linseed oil manufacturing, with which he
remained successfully connected for twenty years, retiring from it to give his
more especial attention to his already extensive foundry business, in which he
had become interested some years previous. He married, in Richland County, Ohio,
in 1849, Harriet L., daughter of Peter Bodine, by whom he has one son and one
daughter: Frederick C., and Lizzie B., wife of John A. Weeks, Jr. The family
attend the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Adams has been an Odd Fellow for over forty
years. He has always avoided holding public office, but has served in the
council for sixteen years and is now a worthy member of the school board of
Findlay. In politics he is a Republican.
