| Brief Biography:
Willia m R. Adams (Farmer, Stock-raiser, Post-Office, Smithville)
Among those in Platte County who are prominently identified with the stock industry, Mr Adams is deserving of special mention; for upon his place are to be found some excellent representative thorough-bred cattle, and his annual sales and shipments denote him to be one of the foremost in this line of industry hereabouts. He was born near Dover, Lafayette Co., MO., June 15, 1841; his father, Smith Adams, a farmer during his lifetime, having come from Garrard County, Kentucky. He remained there until 1836, when he came to this State, and until 1844 located in Ray County, not far from Richmond. In 1845 he went to Caldwell County, where he came into possession of 1000 acres of land. Disposing of this subsequently however, he took a trip to Texas for the benefit of his wife's health, but she died in 1852, and then he returned to Missouri--to Buchanan County--where farming occupied his attention until 1871. He now became a resident of St Joseph and so continued until his death in 1883, at the age of 67, he having been born August 3, 1814. His marriage occurred to Miss Talitha C. Ramsey of Kentucky and to them were born four children that are now living: William R.; Mary E., wife of J.D. Hubbard of St Joseph; K.R. wife of E. Penney, near that city, and Edward M. The latter went to California at the age of 25 and is farming there. Both parents were members of the Christian Church; and the father was a Mason. William R. Adams, age the age of 18 years, embarked in life on his own account and received quite a comfortable start from his father. He attended closely to business ever since then, and now has a comfortable place. The short horn trade attracted his spare moments. On his place are about forty head of thoroughbred short horns, and recently he has become interested in raising Jersey cattle the latter grade having proven a very profitable investment. His farms contains 200 acres, in addition to to which he has 60 acres in Kentucky. Mr Adams has been twice married; first to Lavina E. Bosely, who bore his two children: Martha A., born in February 1862, and Montgomery, born April 29, 1866. His second marriage occurred August 29, 1865 when he and Joe H. Hardy became his wife. She was born June 15, 1838 in Carroll County, Mississippi. They gave six children: Mary T., Olmstead, Jennie, Katie, Smith, and William. Mrs Adams was a daughter of Abraham Hardy, a Virginian by birth, and Mary A. Baker, also from that State. They moved to Mississippi in 1836, and came to Missouri in 1845, where Mr H. died in 1854. He belonged to the Presbyterian Church. Mr Adams is a member of the Knights Templar, of the Masonic Order, and in politics is a Democrat. He and his wife are connected to the Christian Church.
