Mr. Adams was a Navy veteran of World War II and a member of the Morristown Masonic Lodge and the Flat Rock Order of Eastern Star. He operated a grocery in Freeport for several years and formerly worked here. He was a member of the Bethel Separate Baptist Church.
Born March 3, 1915, in Jennings County, Mr. Adams was the son of Charles O. and Maud (Allen) Adams. He married Beulah McClure on Sept. 7, 1941, and she survives with a daughter, Mrs. Barbara Swinford of R. R. 1, Flat Rock, and a step-son, George Darnell of R. R. 1, Hope.
Also surviving are three brothers, Allen and Clifford Adams of St Paul and Earl Adams of R. R. 4; three sisters, Mrs. Mary Gaither of Waverly, Mrs. Bonnie VanGordon, of Norristown, and Mrs. Maude Huesman of this city, and four grandchildren.
