Wyoming Democrat (Tunkhannock, Wyoming Co., Pa November 13, 1867
Died at the Eagle Hotel in Pittston, Pa., Oct. 17th, Oscar Adams of Typhoid Fever,
after a brief illness of five days, aged a little over nineteen years.
He left his home in Mehoopany only a few days before apparently in perfect health,
and so soon returns to his friends in the embrace of death. Oscar was kind,
obliging, modest and beautiful, and made lasting friends wherever he went. He
experienced religion two years ago the coming winter, but owing doubtless to not
connecting himself with any church, he became after a time rather negligent of
religious duty, but not losing entirely his hope in Christ. In a lucid moment during
his sickness, he said, "I should like to go home and see mother, brother and
sisters, and young friends, but never shall. Tell them all to meet me in Heaven,"
How sad a blow has fallen upon his loving parents and relatives. The very large
concourse of weeping friends at his funeral tells how much he was loves and how
greatly he will be missed. How true "death loves a shining mark." Rest, Oscar, rest!
We trust we shall meet thee in Heaven.
Mehoopany, Nov. 8, 1867
