General Notes: Husband - Leander Adams

---

He spent his boyhood days on the farm and attended the old district school a few months each winter. Being the eldest son, much of the farm work de­volved upon him, and early in life he be­came inured to hard work, which he kept up throughout his active career. Af­ter his marriage he first located on a piece of the home farm, sixty acres of which he inherited at his father's death. He set up housekeeping in the old log house and later purchased a house of his brother-in-law, Jacob Dible, and in this they set up house­keeping. He later purchased ten acres of his brother, Josiah, and in 1896 bought an additional piece of forty acres from his mother. He has always followed diversi­fied farming, and success has crowned his efforts. He took an active interest in public affairs and for some years was a Republican, being elected to the office of school director on that ticket. For a score or more years he was a Pro­hibitionist, and in 1908 was the party can­didate for county commissioner, receiving a complimentary vote of 660. In religious attachment, Mr. Adams and his family were members of the Clintonville United Presbyterian Church, and he is a member of the session. [HBC 1909, 1282]
