1) Mollie (Mathes) Adams 12 Sept 1909 Izard County, Arkansas*
2) Name unavailable, but was living when he died
G Thomas "Tom" Adams was born in Georgia. Died in Billingsley, Izard County, Arkansas.
Melbourne Times, Melbourne, Arkansas, October 3, 1919:
Gone Home
On August 23 the death angel visited the home of Thomas Adams and claimed for His own his companion.
Mollie was born Feb 2, 1875, being 44 years, 6 months and 21 days old. She was converted early in life and joined the M. E. Church.
Her godly and upright life proved that she was a child of God. Through she is dead, her works are not dead. She leaves behind her a sorrowing husband, two children, one sister, three brothers and a great number of friends to mourn her departure. She will be missed, but well it can be said:
"A precious one from them has gone,
A voice they loved is still,
A place is vacant in their home,
That never can be filled."
Weep not bereaved ones, your loss is her gain. May you live so that when death comes you can meet her again. May her memory ever be your guiding star to heaven. --- A Friend.
