Virginian-Pilot  January 3, 1970
Sgt. Phillip W. Adams, a Norfolk detective for 31 years and recipient of 28 
commendations for his police work and courtesy, died Friday in a hospital.
Adams was the husband of the late Mrs. Gertrude Harris Smith Adams and was a son 
of Hiram R. and Mrs. Gertrude Hanes Adams.
He joined the Norfolk Police Division in 1920, became a detective in 1928, and was 
promoted to sergeant in 1948.
In 1954, he was transferred to the Maintenance and Supply Bureau, overseeing motor 
equipment, because of his 11 years' experience in the auto theft squad, according 
to police records.
A native of Durham, N.C., he lived in Norfolk 60 years, lately at 230 E. Gilpin 
Ave.  He was a member of Epworth United Methodist Church and the Wesleyman Bible 
Class.
He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Margaret Hollingsworth, of Washington, and 
Mrs. Annie Willis, of Arcadia, Calif.
A funeral will be at noon Monday at the Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home, with burial 
in St. Mary's Cemetery.
