Bio

23rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division Son of John Hugh Adams and Emma F. Allbright. ======================================================== Bio from book: History Of Texas World War Heroes Private Isaiah D. Adams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Adams of Crockett, was born in that town on December 17, 1896, and received his education in the rural schools of that district. Private Adams entered the service on September 1, 1917, and received his preliminary military training at Camp Travis, sailing for France on the 21st of January, 1918. He was on board the ill-fated steamship Tuscania, which was torpedoed off the north coast of Ireland at 5:50 p.m. February 5, 1918. The survivors and dead were rescued and cared for by the kind Scottish people, who were very tender in their care of both the living and the dead. The dead were buried with full military honors by the survivors, assisted by the Scottish authorities and the people of the island, who lavished a profusion of flowers on the caskets of those who are now sleeping on that island with the solemn music of the ocean beating against the sturdy rock cliffs. After recovering Private Adams was sent on to France, where he was assigned to Co. L, 23rd Infantry, 2nd Division. He was killed while in action on October 4, 1918, by shell fire, and was buried in one of the American cemeteries in France with as much ceremony as those stressing times would permit.
