Col. 9. (. Adomson Dies
Aide to Gen. Pershinq

Col. George +. Adamson. 80,
military secretary to Gen. John
j. Pershing for more than 80
years. died Of cancer Saturday
in Walter Reed Hospital.
Born in Sherman. Tex, Col.
Adamson began his military
career in 1915 as a civilian pay
clerk with the Mexican expedi-
ton.
He was called TO headquar-
tiers one day to decode a mes
sage for Gen. Pershing. The
general was impressed and had
him commissioned.
Early in 1917, Col. Adamson
sailed for France with Gen.
Pershing and the A.E.F. From
then on, his life was related to
the generals
Even as General Pershing lay
dying in Walter Reed in l948,
Col. Adamson attended to his
affairs in a private Office in
the Pentagon the general had
never seen.
Visited Dying General
At 1855 every morning, Col.
AdamSon would arrive and
open up the office. and take
care Of mail that still trickled
in. Three days a week, after
lunch. a chauffeur would drive
him out to Walter Reed to the
Generals bedside. Col. Adam
son was named an executor
when General Pershing died.
President Eisenhower, an
other old friend from Army
days, visited Col. Adamson in
Walter Reed several weeks ago
while Mrs. Eisenhower was
hospitalized there after an
operation.
Congress passed a special act
giving Col. Adamson the post
of military secretary for the
General Of the Armies so he
could continue to serve Gen.
Pershing after passing Army
retirement age.
"There'll never be another
general Of the armies" Col.
Adamson once told an inter-
viewer. who would it be-?
It's my guess the selection
would cause too much trouble.
So there'll probably never be
another military secretary like
I am. either"
Best Soldier He Knew
Col. Adamson called BLACK
Jack" Pershing the best soldier
he ever knew.
/ II hurt him that the general
had a reputation as a martinez
and relentless disciplinarian
among many of the men he led
to victory in World War l.
He was stern and aloof. but
he thought he had to be to up
hold the dignity of the Army,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-10-07

and he was right" Col. Adam
son declared. He was the kind
est man ! have ever known"
Col. AdamSon's pride in the
general was as fierce when the
87-year-old hero lay dying al
in their early years together.
He told a reporter with
amusement Of the generals
confounding Of an atom homt
enthusiast.
1.-THE general followed Worlc
War II very closely. of course,
Col. Adamson recalled two
months before Gen. Pershing's
death. "but this atom bomb got
him down. Couldn't understand
it. / took a smart fellow who
admitted he knew all about
the bomb out to see him and
say, you should have heard 1t
Tied Man Up
1.-THE general tied the poor
man right up in knots, but still
he told me he didn't know what
in the world the man was talk
ing about. That was a great
afternoon!"
When CO... Adamson's wife
died in 1916, he established a
$4,000 scholarship fund al
Hampden- Sydney College in
her memory. He lived at the
Kenesaw Apartments at Six
tenth and Irving streets NV. !,
and was a longtime member OF
Central Presbyterian Church a
block away.
He is survived by a sister,
Mrs. Maud Armstrong. of Ada,
