Obituary from the February 10, 1909 Danbury Reporter: John Summerfield Davis Adkins was born August 14, 1871 near Pilot Mountain, Surry county. His parents moved to Red Shoals before he was two years old. He joined the Methodist churct at Davis Chapel when he was seven years of age uhder the ministry of Rev.D.H. Pegram. He was married in High Point, Dec. 29, 1904 to Miss Della Martin of Pine Hall. On Monday, February 9, 1909 he was thrown from his mule while on his way to Danbury, and fatally injured, so that he never regained consciousness. He was carried to his home, and all that loving hands could do or loving hearts suggest was done for him, but to no avail. Once he arose and sat on a chair, but soon again became entirely unconscious. He lingered until Wednesday, February 3, when he calmly passed to the home above. It would doubtless have been a comfort to the bereaved ones could our dear brother have spoken some words of dying testimony to lighten their sorrow. But his humble, faithful, Christian life his bright testimony of faith and love to God are a source of great comfort to the bereaved ones. He lived the life of the righteous, he could but die the death of the same. He was much impressed by a sermon by Rev.W.M. Bagby in October last, from 1 Jno.3:1 of which he frequently spoke. He was such a true faithful Christian, we know he is now in heaven awaiting that reunion he loved to think and speak about. He leaves a young wife and two little children; a widowed mother, Mrs. Emily Adkins; three sisters, Mrs. M.T. Chilton of Danbury, Misses Lizzy and Susie Adkins, of Red Shoals; Messrs. W. Jay, Henry, and Edward Adkins of Red Shoals, Mr. Chas. Adkins of Dickinson, North Dakota, and Mr. James Adkins of Winston. How the aged mother, brothers and sisters will miss his daily coming! How we will all miss him, for he always filled his place at church! His funeral was attended by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, testifying to the universal esteem in which he and the family are held, and the fountains of brotherly love in every heart seemed to rise overflowing. It was indeed an impressive scene, and our hearts have never felt nearer breaking with sympathetic grief than on this occasion. We laid his body to rest in the Davis graveyard, overlooking the Dan river, to await the resurrection. Our sympathy goes out to the bereaved young widow in her helpless grief, and to the mother and brothers and sisters of his boyhood home. Let us to continue to trust in Him who doeth all things well, and be ready when the call shall come to us. D.A. BINKLEY (Typed exactly as seen.)
