James William Adams (1872-1922)

Obituary
'''Mr. Jas. W. Adams.''' General regret was expressed here when the news of the death of Mr. James William Adams, which took place at Stockton, Newcastle, on Sunday last, was received. The deceased, who was a native of Narandera, was in his 50th year. After attending school at Narandera, he joined the local post office staff about 35 years ago, and served in almost every capacity. Although on various occasions he was offered transfers which carried substantial promotions, his love for his native town prompted him to return them until about two years ago, when he accepted a transfer to Newcastle. During his long residence here no one was more respected than Mr. Jim Adams. Being possessed of a genial, happy nature, an indomitable will to work, and a deep regard for the needs of the public, he was beloved by his friends and esteemed by the public. He was a member of the committee of the local Imperial Football Club; and in his younger days interested himself in footrunning. On his leaving Narandera about two years ago there was a general manifestation of regret at his departure, and it must have been a source of much gratification to him to know that he  had earned the good will of all sections of the public. It is about four mouths since Mr. Adams took seriously ill, but recovered sufficiently to make arrangements to visit Narandera in order to convalesce. However, an attack of influenza supervened on his complaint, pyelitis of the kidneys, and brought about a collapse from which he never recovered. Deceased leaves a widow, four sons, and two daughters to mourn their loss. The funeral took place on Monday. We offer our sincere sympathy to the relatives in their bereavement.
