JOSEPH ADAMS, stock-raiser and farmer, is a native of this township, was
born March 22, 1852, and is the eighth of the twelve children of Henry and
Nancy (Sluser) Adams, the former a native of Kentucky, the latter of
Virginia, and of English and German extraction respectively. Joseph Adams
was reared to the farming profession, and received a fair education. He is
the owner of eighty acres of good land; his father--who is now residing
with him in his age--having given to each of his children some assistance.
Recently Mr. Adams has added forty acres to the paternal gift, making a
valuable property and a desirable home. He is a Democrat by political
preference, and a liberal and regarded citizen. Thus far he has been
successful in the battle for independence, and, with his good management and
bright foresight he must become one of the prosperous farmers of his section.
