JAY FLETCHER ADAMS. Jay Fletcher Adams, the fourth child and oldest son of Theodore L. Adams, was born in Dodge county, Nebraska, on the 5th of June, 1869, but has passed nearly his entire life in this county, as the family home was established here in that year. He divided his time between attending the common schools and assisting his father until he was sixteen years of age, when he concentrated his energies upon farm work. He has always remained upon the home place, which he now owns, and through hard work and good management has gained a gratifying measure of prosperity. He raises both grain and stock and is at once practical and progressive in his methods. Mr. Adams was married on the 25th of July, 1888, to Miss Iva Otto, a daughter of George B. and Sarah Otto, the former of whom died on the 24th of December, 1910, and the latter of whom is residing with Mr. and Mrs. Adams, at the age of seventy-four years. Four children have been born to this union, namely: Lottie, who is at home; Etta, the wife of William West, of Marietta precinct; and Ernest and Orpha, both of whom are at home. Mr. Adams is a republican and has proven very efficient as a member of the school board. Fraternally he belongs to the Modern Woodmen and to the Woodmen of the World at Mead. He is ably carrying on the work of still further improving the farm which his father developed and he is adding to the esteem in which the family name is held.
