small child she moved to Centerville with her parents, and her home had

Mass., and three grndchildren.  Robert and Elizabeth, children of Mr.
and Mrs. Leslie Adams and Francis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Adams.

	She had been a member of the First Methodist church since 1882, joining
when Rev. A. B. Truax was pastor.  She was a member of the official
board of the church, the Mary Geddis Bible class, the Ladies' Aid
society, and the missionary society of the church.  She was also a
member of Dennis Rebekah lodge and Sedgwick Woman's Relief corps.

	Funeral services will be held in the First Methodist church tomorrow
afternoon at 2.30.  Rev. J. K. Montgomery, the pastor, will officiate
and burial will take place beside her husband in Morningside cemetery.

	The death of Mrs. Adams will be keenly felt not only by members of her
family but by many friends to whom she had endeared herself.  By her
many kind acts toward others, she exemplified a beautiful character. 
She will be greatly missed in her church, where she worked devotedly and
untiringly.  She always could be counted on as doing more than her share
in the church work.
