LIFE HISTORY
OF J. ADAMS

Last week we published orlef
account of the death OF John
Quincy Adams, and this week we
are able to give our readers some
interesting history about his lie.
Mr.. Adams comes OF sturdy
English stock, who emigrated TO
this country with the early colon
lists. His ancestors did yeoman
service in the war of the Revo-
luton; The women caring for the
wounded and dyidg patriots, and
the men furnishing the sinews OF
war. A number of Mr.. Adams
ancestors held commissioned Offices
IN the Revolutionary war, including
among them, on the maternal side,
ll.nlenaa Whltmore. On the
palernal : .e, Mr.. Adams Is a de-
seendant of John Adams and John
Quincy Adams, Revolutionary
heroes and ex-presidemts OF the
United States.
Mr.. Adams father Elias Adams
was born in Marlborough, Wind
ham Vermont, on the western
sIope OF The Green Mountains, and,
at the age Of eighteen years, he en-
listed III Gaplam smiths Company
flst U4nled States Rifles. tie
served with distinction all through
ths war OF 1912, and for three
vaars in the Indian Wars imme-
diately following. He had a
number OF hail breadth escapes
and took delight IN vividly re-
counling "reminiscences of those
stirring TIN es.
Following his honorable discharge
from the army, he moved vest anu
settled in Illinois, where Adams
County and Quincy Illinois, were
named in his honor. He was the
hther of fourteen children, all born
near Columbus, Adams County,
Illinois, the fifth OF whom was
John Quincy Adams.
Some time previous to the Call
fornia gold excitement, Elias
Adams sold his Illinois farm and
matchmaking establishment, and
with his family, settled in the terri
tory oil Utah, where he lived IN ro-
Ihust health to the advanced age OF
"a years, (his death being the re-
snlt of an accident), and where a

G. ". DOUGAS
SEEKS REELECTION

w. G. Douglas, who has served
Nevada as Secretary OF State for
past eight years, is..again candidate
to succeed himself in office and his
political announcement appears in
this issue. The splendid record
he has made as a state official
is, with out any thing else, should
reelect him. However, during his
long residence in this state he has
always been a useful citizen, TAX
ing great interest in all matters
appertaining to the welfare and
future development of Nevada.
Should he again be chosen by the
Republicans as their candidate,
his election is practically assured.
We commend his candidacy to the
voters of Douglas county.

half the time he has met no opposi-

No office has been better kept than
that of Recorder and Auditor and
being an important office, the voters
have seemed to be desirious of lett

John Quincy Adams engaged
with his father in farming and
stock raising in Utah until the first
of June 1858, when, in company
with his brother, Rufus Adams, he
settled in Douglas County, Nevada
where he engaged in farming and
brick making. He furnished lhe
brick for the United States Branch
Mint at Carson City, for the Court
House at Genoa, and for most of
the other brick buildings in that
vicinity.
Mr. Adams arrived in Caliiolbi
during the gold rush, mining i.r II
time at Placerville. In compa Y
with Pete RELY and others wt,u
discovered the Comstock, he CAM
TO Nevada. He took up the s',onl
ranch ON which he resided up :.
the time of his death, and mh"s.
beautiful trees and other improve
ments show the result of his y
years of hard toll.
He was one of the original prus-
pectors on the Comstock Lode, but
gave up most of his time to the
cultivation of his farm.
Steve Gage was another of his
intimate friends, as was the Com
stock boys. J. w. Haines was a.
mother of his old-tims chums.
He was one of the pioneers who
helped to build up the common
wealth and who make the solid
business foundation of the country.
Always taking an interest in the
upbuilding of the community, he
was IA staunch republican, and
served his county as commissioner,
also in the capacity of school
trustee for several terms.
In conjunction with his estimable
wife, he contributed largely 10 all
public enterprises and various
charities, no one in trouble or dis
tress ever appealed to him in vain
or was turned empty handed from
his door. He was broadminded
and charitable and legions OF
friends testify to his goodness and
kindness of heart. He was ef n
cheerful disposition, even to the
last, and always had a smile and
word of cheer for old and young
alike, all of whom held him in the
highest esteem.
The world would be 4 better and
happier place if there were in it
more like John Quincy Adams.

LOUIS STODIECK
FOR STATE SENATOR

The Democratic party of Douglas
county has some strong timber out
for office. One of them is Louis
Stodieck, who announces his candi-
dancy in this issue.
Mr.. Stodieck has been resident
OF this county his entire life and is
one of Carson Valleys most in
dustrious young men. For several
years past he has been closely iden-
titled with several of our leading
industries, and in the discharge OF
such duties, has proved to be
man of excellent business udg-
ment. His life has been an open
book to the the voters OF Douglas
county and the esteem in which he
is held is ample proof OF his popu-
larity.
If elected to the office to which
he aspires, he will surely be OF
great help to the commonwealth.
