OBITUARY:
Mrs. Isabella Lavinia Adams, died August 18, 1901 at her home near Bowling Green. She would have been 80 years old on August 21. She was born in 1821. She was the mother of Mrs. R. N. Wilson, Mrs. W. Meek Adams, and of J.M., W. E., E. M., H. S., and J. E. Adams. All these were at her bedside before she passed away. Mrs. Adams, up to six or seven months before she was taken sick, was remarkably well preserved for one of her age. She could get about well and was lively, cheerful and active in discharge of her household affairs. She was a good woman, a kind neighbor and a noble mother of a large family of sons and daughters, and was one might say, a life-long member of Bethel Church.
The pastor of Bethel, Rev. W. B. Arrowood, preached the funeral sermon at the residence, assisted by Rev. W. A. Haffner. One of the largest funeral processions ever seen in that community followed the body to Bethel Church Cemetery where it was gently laid to rest.
