VETERAN’S BIRTHDAY
George W. Adams Spent Most of His 75 Years in Brushtown.
George W. Adams, of the Franklin House, York street, celebrated his 75th birthday
anniversary on Sunday, August 10th, by spending the day with his daughter, Mrs.
Charles Grimes, and family, at Midway.
Mr. Adams was born and spent his entire life, with the exception of five years,
at Brushtown, Adams county. Three of the five years were spent in service with
the Union army, one year later he lived at Dayton, Ohio, and the last year he
has been residing at the Franklin House.
His army record is very interesting, having enlisted in Company I, 187th Regiment
Penna. Vol., September 12, 1861, serving three years. He took part in 28
engagements, among which were the Battles of Spotsylvania Court House, Cold
Harbor and the Monacacy. During the last few years, Mr. Adams has been
suffering from rheumatism, and he finds it very difficult to get around.
