OBITUARY.

Robert John Adams was born in
Canada, and was "a years of age at the
time of his death. He came to Amador
county about 1876, and engaged in the
logging business for the Amador Canal
Company. In May, 1877, he was mar
ried to Miss Ann Nichols of jackson
Valley, and settled at Pine Grove. His
fitness for public affairs was early
recognized, and in 1856 he was nomi-
mated by the Republicans for the i'm
portant Office of Sheriff and Tax Col
lector, and was elected by substantial
majority over w. II. Glenn, the Dem
ocratic candidate. In 1883 he was
renominated for the same position, and
was reelected, defeating George Dur
ham. In 1890 he again ran for Sheriff
against l. N. Templeton, and was again
elected. He retired from Office in 1893,
and the same year accepted the res
ponsi BILE position of superintendent for
the Amador Electric Company in Jack
son. Deceased was man of sterling
character. The allurements of politi-
cal life failed to draw him aside in the
slightest degree from the straight path
of integrity and moral worth. Unlike
the majority of those who enter politi-
cal life, Bob Adams was never known
to sacrifice friend for mere temporary
advantage, and he always acted true to
his convictions Of right. At the close
of his official life, it may be said to his
everlasting credit, he retained unim-
paired all those moral attributes of
truth, honesty and constancy which
distinguished him as man. The
much-talked-of debasing influences of
political life left him untouched. Dur
ing his % years residence in Amador
county he succeeded in attaining a
position of competence. He leaves a
widow and three children; two sons
and a daughter. The family are nat
urally Frustrated by the violent and
sudden removal of beloved husband
and father, His brother, A c. Adams.
the only relative he has had in Amador
county, is-on his way back from Cape
Nome, Alaska, whittier he went last
spring. Amador county has lost one
of its best and truest citizens. He fell
at the post of duty. The most endur-
ing monument of his worth is engraved
upon the memories of his fellow citi-
zens, who knew Of his worth by having
known him in life.
