ADAMS Died in Allegheny township on Thursday morning, November 19th, 1891, aged 76 years. A good citizen, farmer and neighbor, by his death the community sustains an irreparable loss. His family feel his loss unspeakably, for he was their bond of union. A consistent Catholic, he always attended to the duties of his church, and his familiar form will be long missed at the weekly convocation. He patiently suffered through his last illness, and was resigned to quit earthly scenes for the brighter and better home beyond. Mr. Adams was taken ill on the 3rd and died on the 19th inst. His remains were interred in the cemetery at St. Augustine on the 21st. A Requiem High Mass having been celebrated by Rev. Father McAvey. A numerous train of mourning relatives followed to the grave. May he rest in peace. "arth to earth and dust to dust" Is the mandate true and just There till Resurrection morn Doth this planet re-adorn; There he sleepeth very well. Neath the sound of parish bell. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you, Donna Noel Julian
