GEORGE E. ADAMS 
	George E. Adams is one of the younger enterprising men of Stevens 
county and deserves to be classed in this work as one of its upbuilders. He 
is a man of energy and industry, as is evidenced by his property holdings. 
George E. Adams was born in Bristol, England on June 6, 1870, the son of 
Charles and Mary J. (Reese) Adams, natives of England and who are 
specifically mentioned in another portion of this work. When our subject was 
one year old his father came to this country and the following year he came 
with his mother. They located in Olmstead county, Minnesota and there and in
Dodge county of the same state he received his educational training. At the 
age of sixteen years he began to do for himself and learned the stone 
cutter's trade from the father. After several years he followed this trade in
Illinois and Dakota and in 1889 came to Spokane where he continued working 
at his trade. He also wrought at Medical Lake, Colfax, Moscow, and other 
places adjacent to Spokane. In 1891 he came to Stevens county and prospected 
until 1895 then he took a homestead where he now lives, five miles west from 
Valley. Forty acres of the farm are now under cultivation and he does general
farming and raises stock. In addition to this occupation, Mr. Adams devotes 
himself to mining and logging.
   In 1897 Mr. Adams married Miss Eliza, daughter of John and Jane (Davis)
Tate, natives of England and Indiana,respectively. In 1878 they came to
Medical Lake where the father now lives, the mother passing away in 1888.
They were the parents of eleven children, Thomas R., Edna, Elizabeth, Martha,
deceased, Anna, Deth, deceased, Edward, John, Ivy,deceased, Ray, and an 
infant unnamed, deceased. To Mr. and Mrs. Adams three children have been born
two of whom are living as follows: Lela L., and Mabel I. In political matters
Mr. Adams is prominent and liberal, always voting for the man and principles
he believes to be best regardless of party affiliations. Mrs. Adams is a
member of the Christian church. They are highly respected people and stand
well in the community.
