UNEXPECTED WAS DEATH OF PAUL ADAMS
Paul Adams, one of the most
popular men in Tishomingo County during recent
years, was a fatal victim of a most peculiar
accident. He fell from a wagon at Iuka on Monday
and displaced his knee cap; he died from the
injury or complications that developed from the
injury Wednesday.
When the accident occurred it
caused him so much pain that he was brought here
where an x-ray examination took place. He was
taken back to his home at Iuka Tuesday, and died
Wednesday morning. Poisen set up in his system,
it is stated, and he was dead 48 hours after he
had the fall.
Paul Adams was the circuit
clerk of Tishomingo County, and was serving his
second term, having been elected the first time
in 1920. Being a candidate to succeed himself he
was elected by a handsome vote. Efficient,
accommodating, anxious to serve he had made
everybody his friend, and the grief over his
sudden and unexpected death will be widespread
throughout the county. Many people in Corinth
knew him only hold him in the highest esteem.
In addition to his duties as
circuit clerk of the county he had farming
interests in his home community of Pleasant
Hill, five miles south of Iuka, where he had his
membership in the Methodist Church and where the
body will be buried Friday. He was a progressive
citizen always ready to lend a hand to a
laudable enterprise.
He is survived by his wife
and four children, his father and mother and
other relatives of his father's family.
