The deceased had been a resident of Norwich for 18 years and during that period he served his city several years as alderman from the third ward. As a member of the common council he displayed the same sound judgment and business acumen as he did in other affairs of his career. In his later years he took great pleasure in spending hours on his favorite trout streams throughout this section. George Adams was an expert fisherman and he was known to catch the prize beauties where others failed. Mr. Adams also took great delight in the game of horse shoe pitching and so diligent was he in this sport that he held the title of champion horse shoe pitcher of the state. Mr. Adams was a true Christian gentleman all his life. While a resident of North Norwich he served the Baptist church of that community as trustee and was one of the prime movers in church work in that hamlet. After taking up his residence in this city Mr. Adams identified himself with the First Baptist church and was a member of the official board several years. He also served as deacon. He was also a stockholder and director of the Chenango County National Bank & Trust company. Mr. Adams was quick to give of his service in other walks of life and his advice and counsel will be greatly missed by many in this city. There survive two sons and one daughter, B. Harry Adams of Norwich, Merton S. Adams of Plainfield, N.J. and Miss Gladys A. Adams, home demonstration agent at large and now working in Oswego county. He is also survived by his aged mother Mrs. C. E. White of Mt. Dora, Fla. now in her 97th year, and a brother, Byron Adams of California. [Buried North Norwich Cemetery]
