McADAMS - HAMILTON COUNTY BIOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL RECORD OF JAY AND BLACKFORD COUNTIES, INDIANA The Lewis Publishing Company, 1887 - page 582 with photo JOSEPH L.C. McADAMS, the present efficient recorder of Jay County, is a native of Hamilton County, Ohio, born near Cincinnati, in 1857. His father dying when he was a child, he was thrown upon his own resources at an early age. In 1875 he came to Indiana, and began the study of dentistry at Winchester, and in 1878 came to Portland, where he has since made his home. Dr. McAdams is thoroughly educated in the details of his profession for which he possesses a natural adaptation, and for the past several years he has been recognized as the leading dentist of Jay County. By the earnest solicitation of his many friends he was induced to accept the nomination as recorder, being elected to that office in November, 1886, succeeding P.M. Hearn. Mr. McAdams was elected on the Republican ticket, and his majority received by him in a county usually Democratic, indicates his popularity, and the esteem in which he is held by his fellow citizens. In 1885 the doctor was elected to the office of city clerk of Portland. His wife was formerly Miss Emma Johnson, she being a native of Indiana and a daughter of T.S. Johnson. ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Tue, 1 Jun 1999 13:24:39, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) Subject: OHIO TO NEBRASKA PART 4 OHIO PEOPLE WHO WENT TO NEBRASKA volume 1 Excerpts from History of State of Nebraska by The Western Historical Company, 1882.
