His parents were Charles and Jane Adcock, his father having come to America from England and his mother from Holland. When a small child his parents moved from Ohio and located near Terre Haute, Indiana where they lived for a number of years, then moving to Lee county, Iowa and later to Wayne county, Iowa. His higher schooling was received in Denmard Academy where he worked his way by teaching school and then attending. However his education ever increased as his habit of study and love of knowledge continued as long as he lived. Comprehensive was his knowledge of both sacred and profane history. On June 25, 1876 he was married to Miss Josephine Burns at Confidence, Iowa. To them being given more than fifty years of wedded life. To this union were born seven children of whom three survive. Two grandchildren, Nina Stevens Kelley of Roswell, N.M. and Herbert Stevens of Clovis, N.M., upon the death of their mother twenty-one years ago, lived in the home until grown and were loved, cared for and regarded as his own.

He was the last of a family of seven, his brothers and sisters having preceded him from this world many years ago. By reason of strength he passed four score. He is survived by his wife, Josephine Adcock, one son, Reed W. of Bentonville, two daughters, Mrs. James Banks of Gravette and Maud, who lives in the home, and seven grandchildren.
