Mrs. Mary Adams was born in Watertown, NY April 1821, and died in Snohomish July 
27, 1898. She leaves two children to mourn her loss. A son, L. Adams of Seattle 
and Mrs. Clement, with whom she lived. We, the members of the Congregational 
church, of which she was a member, desire to testify to the personal worth of 
our dear friend and sister. Until within a few weeks of her death she was 
generally seen at church and often at the Ladies Aid Society of which she was 
an active member. She was always ready at all times, when ever an opportunity 
was presented to assist and do for others., ever thoughtful of the sick and 
ready to sympathize with the poor and unfortunate, as with the more blessed. 
Her husband, with whom she lived for over fifty years, was called to the 
"betterland" five years before her and she was waiting partially for the time 
to come when her Heaavenly Father would call her to pass "over on the other 
side" She was a devoted wife and mother, always true and tender and making Christ 
her central object. At the last her greatest fear was that she would live to be a 
burden and care to her children. Resolved, That the removal of Sister Adams from our 
society leaves a vacancy and a shadow that is deeply 
realized by all.
