Hello, everyone. I went to the state archives today and ran across an item in the Arkansas Gazette that I thought someone might be interested in since I was sure I had seen a post of Adams for a surname. I hope this will help someone. Arkansas Gazette, Friday, December 14, 1855 From Greene County. Hon. Charles W. Adams -- When this gentleman resigned the office of Judge of the Circuit Court, which he had filled in a manner so creditable both to himself and the county, the following resolutions were adopted by the Bar. These proceedings should have been published before this, but they were not received. The delay does not makes the compliment any the less deserving. WHEREAS --- with the close of the present term of this Court, the official labors of Hon. Charles W. Adams, as judge of the First Judicial Circuit of this State, ceases, by virtue of his resignation, which takes effect on the 30th inst. (sic) 1. Be it therefore Resolved by the members of the Bar, That the official conduct and demeanor of Hon. Charles W. Adams, while upon the bench has elicited our admiration and respect. That, in the administration of Justice, he has combined distinguished ability and decision of character, with punctuality and unyielding firmness --- contributing largely to the moral improvement of society. 2. We deeply regret this his Honor has thought proper to retire from the Bench, and thus dissolve an association so agreeable to us, as attorneys, and so important to the community at large; and we most cordially welcome him among us, again, as an associate at the Bar, and hope, in his practice, that he may be fully remunerated for his ample legal learning and ability. 3. That in expressing these opinions, as members of the Bar, we believe we but express the sentiments of the community in general. 4. That a copy of These Resolutions be reported, to the March term of this Circuit Court, with the request that they be spread upon the records of said Court; and that a copy be sent to each of the newspapers at Little Rock, for publication. Unanimously adopted. P .K. Lester, President. L. L. Mack, Secretary. I thought this was very special and gave insight into the character of Charles Adams. Pam Hargis
