ADAMS, LYMAN H.
The untimely death of Lyman Adams, which occurred at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Adams, on Belle Avenue, Sunday afternoon (June 1, 1930), caused much sorrow in our community. The young man had been down in the business district of Nicholasville Sunday and returned to his home about 3 o'clock and after talking with his mother a few minutes, went to his room where he ended his life with a shotgun. Mr. Adams had not been in good health for several years, which is believed to have caused him to commit the act. The only child of the home and the idol of his parents, and from childhood, no young man in our community had more friends than he. For several years he has been employed by the Jessamine Telephone & Telegraph Company, of which his father is local manager and his companions, and those closely associated with him held him in highest esteem, for they felt that he likewise was their true friend and always extended a word of friendship and affection to everyone. To his grief stricken parents and relatives the deepest sympathy is extended, and we trust that God will by His Divine power help them to bear their sorrow with patience, for He that can do all things will take care of his children, and like the flowers of the garden, will reopen in another life, to brighten His heavenly throne. The funeral services were conducted at the home Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, by Rev. P. G. Carter, assisted by Dr. D. K. Walthall, were attended by a large concourse of friends of the youth, and beautiful floral offerings also attested his popularity. The casket bearers were Ewald Boher, Cecil Boggs, Gilbert Peel, Otho Ashley, John L. Reynolds, Clarence Davenport. Burial was in Maple Grove Cemetery.
