Uncle Dick Adams, of Day county, father in law of Mr. Pace, died last Monday. Bright's disease was the cause. Uncle Dick Adams, of Brantley, Day county, was a prince of southern chivalry. All who knew him loved him. Card of Thanks. I wish to extend thanks for the great care, attention and sympathy shown by my many friends in the last hours of my father. Respectfully, Will Adams. (8 Dec 1904, Thursday, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK): In Memory. Uncle Dick Adams of Brantley, Day county, died in this city Tuesday evening at 4 o'clock. Mr. Adams came to this country at an early day from Johnson county, Texas, and settled on a claim near Brantley, Day county. He was a man of very liberal disposition, and none who ever applied to him for help when in need were sent empty away. For the last few years he and his wife have made their home with their son Will at Brantley. On Wednesday 30th November, he drove to this city with his wife and daughter Fanny, on a visit to his daughter and son-in-law Mr. and Mrs. Fisher Pace of this city. For the last three weeks Mr. Adams has not been in good health, and last Saturday caught a severe chill. Dr. Low was called and did all that he could for him. But on Tuesday evening 6th December at 4 o'clock surrounded by his wife, family and friends, he passed away at the age of 72. On Wednesday his remains were taken to the cemetery near Texmo, to be buried the same day. Mr. Adams is survived by a wife, three sons and four daughters, all of whom are married except Will with whom Mrs. Adams will continue to make her home. To the bereaved ones, we desire to extend our sincerest sympathy in this hour of sorrow.
