POPULAR YOUNG MAN
DIES At HOSPITAL
AFTER SHORT ILLNESS JOHN
ADAMS, EMPLOYED BY PENSA-
COLA ELECTRIC COMPANY,
PASSES AWAY.

Sincere regret was expressed by his
many friends last night when it be-
came known that John Adams, super
intendent Of the lighting department
of the Pensacola Electric Company,
had passed away at the Pensacola
hospital, following an illness of but
a shsrt period. He was Is years of
ago, was a graduate of Tufts College,
and during his stay in Pensacola had
surrounded himself with many
friends.
A sad incident in connection with
his death is the fact that his mother,
who was hurrying here from Hart
ford, Conn.,, did not arrive in time to
see her son before he passed away.
She will not reach here until some
time this afternoon.
Another very sad feature in con-
nection with the young mans death is
the fact that he was soon to be mar
ried to Miss Dora Bonacker, of Tampa,
a niece of G. S. Bonaeker, of East
Moreno street. The young lady was
in the city, summoned here by his
critical illness.
Mr., Adams was extremely popular
in Pensacola socially. Although his
home was in Hartford, Conn, he was
short time ago transferred from
Tampa to Pensacola, and was a MEM
Der of the Osceola Club, the Country
Club and the Ariolas, in each of which
organizations he took great interest
and was widely known.
The funeral arrangements had not
been definitely made last night, but
it is likely the body will be sent to
the old home in Connecticut for in
ternent in the city where his mother
resides.
