Mr.. Adams was born In Manches-
ter February 8, 1856, where he spent
his boyhood days. and where he re-
ceived his education. AS young

During the past twelve or fourteen
years Mr.. Adams has been a resi-
dent Of Little Rock, Arkansas, where
he was engaged in the rubber stamp
business. and where he had built up
lucrative business. Notwithstand-
Ing the fact that the many details
q his business occupied his time, he
would lay aside the business cares
and take time to pay frequent visits
TO his aged father, and sisters and
brother In and near Manchester.
These visits were source Of real
pleasure to every one who knew him. !.
Mr. Adams was here last June and
spent several weeks in and near
Manchester. visiting with his father
and brother and sisters. From here
4 hes went to Minneapolis, where his
son has been making his home vtth4
relatives. In speaking Of his goins
to Minneapolis he took great delight
in the thought that his only Sson, Sas
boy Of about fourteen years !of age.
was to return with him to. his home,
in Little Rock, where they might en-
Joy each others conpanionship.
The death OF Orison Adams brings
deep sorrow to his old-time friends
in Manchester. I He was straight
forward business man, and one of the
most likable Of men. His happy dis
position and friendly manner won
for him friends wherever he went,
and no one ever was more loyal to
those Of his own household and
friends than Mr.. Adams.
He leaves to mourn his death,
son, and his aged father, I. P. Adams,
OF this city, and the following broth
ers and sisters: Alfred. .1Pa Adams,
Of Chicago; Elmer G. Adams Of Del,

The sudden death Of. Mr.. adams
comes as a second bereavement to
his relatives in Manchester. On Oc-
tober rs, at Sanborn, Iowa, occurred
the sudden death Of Mr.. Lucius. w,
Adams, an only brother Of Mr.. Ira
p. Adams. Mr.. Adams was for many
years associated with his brother in
the management of hardware store
in Manchester, and his death was
source of profound sorrow to his REL
atives and old time friends here.
Manchester friends extend sympathy
to the bereaved relatives att this
time Of great sorrow.
