For a few years past she has not enjoyed her usual health and within a month or six weeks a gradual but positive decline had manifested itself. All that lay within the power of medical skill, efficient nursing and loving suggestions was done for the patient's comfort and recovery, but the heart proved unequal to its task. Peacefully the end came, and her gentle spirit, always so reconciled to the varying experiences of life, answered the heavenly summons in willing submission to the Divine will. At her home on Foster street, a beautiful and impressive service was held on Wednesday afternoon, Rev. O.J. Fairfield, pastor of the Unitarian church, offering words of comfort, reading scriptural passages and poems especially appropriate and sustaining and paying to the deceased a well deserved tribute. Mrs. J.M. Hartwell, with much sympathy of tone and expression, rendered "The Lord is my shepherd." Floral tributes were many and very beautiful. The interment was in Westlawn. Mrs. Adams, who was, previous to her marriage, Miss Emily Kendall Porter, was born in Sterling, seventy-two years ago this month. During her early childhood she moved with her parents and other children to Stow, where she spent most of her girlhood and received her education. Miss Porter was married to John Ware Adams of Littleton, and has made her home in this town ever since. To Mr. and Mrs. Adams were born six children. The oldest son, William, passed away twelve years ago. Mrs. Adams is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Nahum H. Whitcomb and Misses Lucy and Emily Adams of this town, two sons, John and James of Concord Junction, four grandchildren and three sisters, Mrs. Mary Smith of Stow and Misses Harriet and Lydia Porter of West Acton.
