! TEXAS GENEALOGY
S f Compiled by Nir*. Jas. H. Frenciv
Adams.
The family of Adam or Adams
(Adamah) meaning "red earth’’ can
claim the distinction of having the
oldest individual name on record. Be-
fore the Crusades in Palestine the
baptismal name alone was in use;
tne surnames now in common use
originated during that time the chief-
tains of the expeditions assuming
names of places whence they came
or estates of which they were owners.
The soldiers added son to the Chris-
tian names hence Adamson and in
Scotch. Mac Adam. Artificers as-
sumed the names of their trades
which descended to their posterity.
There is scarcely a county of Eng-
land or Wales where the name of
Adams is not found. In the upper
part of a gothic window on the south
side of Tydenham church near Chop-
lew the name of "Jones Ab Adam
1310’’ and the "arms” are still to be
found beautifully executed in the
stained glass of great thickness. The
church is still in a good state of pre-
servation. The boundary line of
Wales has since been changed and it
tow stands on English ground.
We will now follow the line of the
Adams family of Campbell county
Virginia. It is generally believed that
Alexander Adams who lived in the
time of King Robert Bruce was the
progenitor of this line. He had four
Sons—Robert John Reginald and
Imacan—from whom all of the name
in Scotland are descended.
Duncan Adams the youngest son
eccpmuanied James Lord Douglas in
his expedition to the Holy Land with
Kir.:' Robert s heart and from him is
said to be descended John Adams
who accompanied James the Fourth
to the Field of Flodden and there
lost his life in 1513.
• There were three brothers descend-
ed from this family the eldest of
whom remained in Scotland the other
two added an "s" to the name.
James went to north Ireland and
William into north Wales from whom
sprang the Adams of Pembrokeshire.
Robert Adams the American ances-
tor of the southern branch settled in
Campbell county Va. on the Staun-
ton river.
He married Penelope Lvnch a
daughter of Charles Lynch of Aibe-
marle county. Va. By his wife Pene-
lone he had three sons and six daugh-
ters. namely Charles Lynch Robert
and James Adams. Charles the el-
dest son married Miss Tunstall daugh-
ter of Thomas Tunstall and settled
in Pittsylvania county Va They had
three sons and four daughters.
Captain Robert Adams second son
of Robert and Penelope married Ma-
ry Lewis a daughter of William
Lewis. They settled near Lynchburg
and had nine sons and two daughters’
A further account of him and his
brother James will be given below
the names of the six daughters of
Robert and Penelope (Lynch) Adams
who were ai follows:
Milly married William Ward: Sal-
he married her cousin Charles
Lynch; Penelope married a Mr.
Sha keif ord; another daughter mar-
ried Mr. Magher and went to Ken-
tucky; Elizabeth married Captain

CANADA NEEDS LABORERS.
.Special to The Light
Ottawa Ont. March 16. —It is es-
timated that this spring from 50000
to 60000 men will be required on rail-
road building operations in Canada
the majority of whom must be obtain-
ed from other countries. In view
therefore of the great scarcity of la-
borers in Canada it is probable that
the operations of the alien labor law
will be suspended for the time being.
The various contractors on railway
works throughout Canada are great-
ly exercised over the outlook. Some
of ’them on the Grand Trunk Pacific
have contracts to be finished within a
certain time iimit under severe penal-
ty. They have had agents scouring
the country in vain for workers. They
have made Inquiries in Great Britain
and on the continent and have found
that a certain amount of labor can
be secured from Italy France Swlt*
zerland and Scandanavia. The leaders
of the trades unions contend it is
said that these workers from Europe
will come under the operation of the
Allen Labor Law and that their im-
migration into Canada could be
prevented. The same argument ap-
plies to workers from the United
States where likewise the railroad
contractors cannot get all the labor
they require. There may be an influx
of railway workers from across the
boundary but it is to Europe that
Canada must look for the men who
will construct new railways during
the coming season.
NEW FLORIDA RAILROAD
IS EXTENDING SOUTHWARD
Jacksonville Fla. March 16. —A
railroad that will open up a splendid
s 'clion of Florida is the Pant City
Arcadia and Gulf. The line is al-
ready completed to the Meninger
phosphate plant oue of the largest
phosphate plants in Florida and the
.oad is in operation 20 miles south
ol Plant City. The company Is now
nutting down heavier rails. This
road will be extended southward as
rapidly as possible. How far It will
< xtend has not yet been positively
determined. It will run through a
section which has no railroads and
vet the country that it will traverse
is the oldest settled instills part of
Florida. No better lands can be
found in the state. They were ter-
t’le enough to attract settlers when
thev were almost inaccessible and
with railroad facilities this section
will be as prosperous as any in Flor
Ida. The Plant City Arcadia and Gulf
has traffic arrangements with the
Seaboard which practically gives it
entrance to Tampa. In fact it is
probable that its trains ill run over
the Seaboard tracks into Tampa
when it is completed. This line will
go southward about 15 miles west of
the Atlantic Coast Line and will be
extended as rapidly as rails can be
obtained.
OIL MILL FOR COLORADO.
Colorado Tex. March 16.—The long
cherished dream of a cotton seed ol)
mill In this city is now an accomplish-
ed reality and the enterprise has be-
gun operations with every prospect
of an abundant success. This is the
second cotton seed oil mill to be built
In Texas about the state and federal
quarantine line and it Is expected to
make Colorado a great shipping point.
EULOGIES AND EPITAPHS
Special to The Light.
i Washington D. C. March . — When
not engaged in regulating the affairs
i of the nation or criticizing those who
are charged with legislation I some-
times turn my attention to other
things. The question of eulogies for
j instance. Eulogies of deceased sena-
I tors and congressmen are usually a
| farce. Sometimes a great man passes
I away and the body of which he was
| a member very properly pays tribute
■ to his public services and private life.
To that extent the custom of congrjs-
I sional eulogies is worthy of approval.
I But it. is carried to the extent that
no matter who it is that dies the fact
I that he is found on the pay roll of
; house or senate as a member is con-
I sidered ample justification for sus-
-1 pending public business that his col-
! leagues may pay tribute to his virtues
' manv of them not discovered until his
death. Congress takes good care of its
own and buries its dead at consider-
able expense. I know a case where
a very wealthy senator died and was
buried out of the senate contingent
fund. Among the funeral expenses
was a charge for a new pair of shoes
for the corpse. The total expense ran
up to nearly $5OOO.
Professional Speech Writers.
Generally when a member dies he
has something on record which his
colleagues can review in a complimen-
tary manner but often he has just
come into public life and then the
eulogizers are hard pressed for some-
thing to sav about him. More than
once when I was on the floor of the
house have I had members say to me:
"For heaven’s sake tell me something
about . We are going to
bury him and I am down for a speech.”
These exercises are always referred
to as "burying” a member. In many
instances the beautiful tender tributes
; which are paid to members of the
i house whose membership was scarcely
noticed until their death except by
the seargeant-at-arms. who paid them
are written by prosesslonal speech
writers and not by the members who
deliver them. It is not perhaps gen-
erally known that many of the set
I speeches delivered in the house and
senate are written by private secre-
-1 tarles newspaper men and others and
I then distributed broadcast under the
[ government frank among the consti-
I tuents of the member delivering the
I speech as though It was the product of
his own brain.
From congressional eulogies to epi-
taphs is not a long one. Who first
placed on a tomb an Inscription re-
citing the good deeds of the buried
one is of little or no moment. The
oldest Egyptian tombs bear them. Wo
can almost read fhe story of Greece
and Rome on the tombs of each coun-
try. There is a marked difference
however between the ancient Egypt-
ian epitaphs and those of Greece and
Rome. The old Egyptians generally
wrote their epitaphs on the coffins in-
stead of on the tombs. As a rule they
began with a prayer and ended with
boasting of the deeds of the deceased.
What a bragging set of old duffers
the Egyptian Pharaohs were any way!
The ancient Greek epitaphs are of
great literary interest.- Usually they
are very tender and rich in expres-
sion. The old time Greeks were given
to poetry as well as to philosophy and
thev combined the two in the work of
writing epitaphs. Rhvmes are never
found among Greek epitaphs but they
partake more or less of poetic imagery
I and expression. The Romans were
the tersest and most direct history
writers of the world and they were
equally terse and direct In composing
epitaphs. They confined themselves to
a simple and direct statement of fact
without flouish or vain boasting.
Tenderness in Epitaphs.
In all ages and among all peoples
; there have been instances of rare ten-
derness and beauty in epitaphic writ-
ing. Where can be found anything
more tender or beautiful than the epi-
taph written by Robert Burns for his
। father’s tomb containing the lines:
‘Here Ues the loving husband's
dear remains
The tender father and the gener-
ous friend."
Shakespeare wrote the epitaph of
Ben Johnson his friend and oft com-
panion and it consisted of only four
words .on the tablet of his memory in
Westminster Abbejv and it will stand
for all time as a classic. A volume
could not tell more than the four
words express;
"O! Rare Ben Johnson.”
It is a history a biography a cri-
tique a tribute all In one. It is a
monument to Johnson and Shake-
speare combined. How different is
the great poet’s own epitaph in that
same Westminster Abbey and it too
was of his own authorship. It reads:
"The cloud-capped towers the gor-
geous palaces the solemn temples
the great globe Itself yea all which it
inherits shall dissolve and like a
baseless fabric of a vision leave not
a wreck behind.”
In an obscure grave yard in London
may be seen the grave of one who if
ever an English-born subject deserved
a place in Westminster Abbey his
should have occupied a most promi-
nent position. Who erected the stone
or caused it to be carved is not known
but the epitaph is simple Ilk? the life
of him It commemorates. It reads:
Mr. John Bunyan
Author of the Pilgrim’s Progress.
Obt. August 31st 1688.
Aged 60 Years.
• What better story could have been
told in an inscription that that he was
the author of the Pilgrim’s Progress?
He needs no brass or marble tablet
in Westminster no long epitaph to tell
his virtues his sufferings or what he
accomplished.
Simple Thomas Jefferson.
Our own Jefferson must have felt
something like this when he wrote
his own epitaph. He had been the
third president of (he new republic
o) Xlisd isanuod reajSt u paj pan
triumph been classed by his fellows
among the great statesmen of the
world but nothing Is said of all this
in his epitaph:
Here Lies Burled
THOMAS JEFFERSON
Author of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence of the State of Virginis
for Religious Freedom
And Father of the University of Vir-
ginia.
Benjamin Franklin was another who
wrote his own epitaph. Franklin was
gifted in epigrammatic writing in con-
densing much in little space and in
constructing wise proverbs. He wrote:
The Body of Benjamin Franklin
Printer.
(Like the cover of an old book its con-
tents torn out and strlpt of its
lettering and gilding)
Lies here food for worms.
But the work shall not be lost for It
will (as lie believes) appear
once more
In a new and more elegant edition re-
vised and corrected by the
Author.
Written in 1728.
Franklin and Jefferson were not the
only distinguished Americans who
wrote their own epitaphs. In the ear-
ly days ot Virginia one of the most
prominent and wealthy citizens of the
colony was John Custis. According to
tradition he married a wife who might
have rivaled the one who led Socrates
such a merry chase after happiness
by showing a will and temper of her
own. It is evident that he could not
make even with his wife during her
life time and was not willing to fore-
go his reveige so he prepared to per-
petuate it in enduring marble. He
wrote his epitaph and to make sure
it would be placed on his tomb pro-
vided In his will that his son and heir
should forfeit his fortune unless he
caused to be erected a monument to
cost 500 pounds sterling and on it
should place the epitaph he had writ-
ten:
Under this marble tomb lies the body
of the Hon. John Custis. Esq. of
the city of Williamsburg and Par-
ish of Burton formerly of the Hun-
gars parish on the Eastern Shore
of Virginia and County of North-
ampton; Aged 71 years and yet
lived but seven years which was the
snace of time he kept a bachelor’s
home at Arlington on the Eastern
Shore of Virginia.
This Hon. John Custis was the
father of Daniel Parke Custis the
first husband of Martha Dandridge
who afterward became Martha Wash
ington.
Eoltaph of an Overworked Woman.
In my collection of curious epitaphs
is one that might find an echo In the
heart of many hundreds who have
not haa the same recorded on the
ft one that covers their remains. It
tells nothing except by inference of
vhat the poor woman did but it gives
much of what she hoped for:
Here lies a poor woman who always
was tired
Who lived in a house where help was
not hired;
Her last words on earth were; ‘‘Dear
friends. I am going
Where washing is not done nor
sweeping nor sewing
But everything there is exact to my
wishes
For where they don’t eat there’s no
washing of dishes.
i'll be where loud anthems will al-
ways be ringing.
But hating no voice. I'll get cleat of
the singing.
Don’t mourn for me now; don’t mourn
for me never;
I am going to do nothing forever and
ever.”
It is not unusual to find chronicled
a list of the public offices or the pri-
vate virtues held or possessed by the
deceased. In an Ohio cemetery stand-
ing not far apart from each other
are two stones worthy of notice. On
one is recited:
Erected to the Memory of Jacob
Easton a Worthy Citizen.
For twenty-five years he was a Justice
of the Peace; for ten years he
was a member of the town
council for five years
Secretary of the School
Board three times a
member of the house
of representatives
and twice a
state senator.
He Sleeps Well.
The inscription on the other is ol
somewhat different character yet
bears the impress of the same boast-
ful spirit:
IN Memory of
Charles James Emerson
For more than fifty years he was
a faithful member of the Methodist
Episcopal church; forty years of
that time he was a class leader;
for seven years he served as dis-
trict steward and also as trustee;
For more thaji thirty years he was
active in the Sunday School serv-
ing thriteen years as Superinten
dent. He was the largest contribu-
tor to the benevolence of the church
and gave twelve hundred dollars
to erect the new church building.
Manv a tragedy of life or of the
heart is hidden in church yard inscrip-
tions. I remember visiting a Httle
country grave yard in northern Geor-
Iga. a few years ago where I found
just such a tragedy recorded. In a
quiet corner of the graveyard was a
modest stone on which I read:
Unknown.
A.federal soldier; he came wound-
ed to our home and gave his life de-
fending it from bushwhackers af-
ter having killed five ot them with
his own hand. This stone is erected
bv John and Martha Grlsv’old
whose home he saved. He was a
hero and God took him.
A number of years ago a stone was
uncovered in the forest in one of the
southern counties of Indiana. After
much labor the following terse in-
scription. telling ot a forest tragedy
was deciphered:
"A strbger killed and skulped by a
SHaWne. I skulped the shAwNe."
The following epitaph found In a
Kentucky graveyard is the grandest
I Wave yet found:
Aunt Eliza ShuberL
She was born she lived —she &died.
Born in Poverty she lived a long life
of toil.
And died mourned by all the com-
munity.
She was the flriend of the poor the
help of the needy.

There are many people who can
see nothing godd in a doughnut ex-
cept the hole. For them there is
nothing in this world but calamity.
Their greatest trouble is to have to
eat three times a day. The stomach
is in rebellion and this is immediately
shown in a man's face. A man to be
successful must have sunshine inside.
The world already has too many dys-
pepsia faces that breathe disaster and
gloom.
Stomach trouble is the most com-
mon cause of discontent sour face
recklessness disgust and lack ot am-
bition. A bad stomach —there is the
secret of many a failure. Anyone
can have a good stomach a strong
stomach a stomach that can take
care of anything and everything that
is put into it no matter whether It
is a very bad stomach or- not.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Toblets do this
very thing. One ingredient of these
little tablets digests 3000 grains of
f.ood and no matter how bad your
dyspepsia or indigestion they will di-
gest everything in your stomach
thoroughly and completely and bet-
ter and more quickly than a good
strong healthy stomach can do it.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will quick-
ly cure ioss of appetite brash irri-
tation. burning sensations nausea
heartburn eructations loss of vim
and energy bad memory and dyspep-
sia and indigestion In their very worst
forms.
No other little tablets in the world
can do so much. You should carry
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets around
with you wherever you go and take
them after meals. Then only will you
realize what it is to enjoy a meal
and what perfect digestion means.
Your whole body and your mind will
feel the effects; your vim will in-
crease. you will be more satisfied with
what the world does you will think
happier and be happier and your face
will be one of supreme contentment.
That will bring you success and then
more success. Your face will bring
you dollars. Try it. It will cost you
just 50c for a package of these won-
derful Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at

said:
"Within five years we shall have a

are totally unprepared for such a
struggle."
Mr Maxim said Japan could land
200.000 men on the Pacific coast and
get them as far as the Rockies before
we could check them He said we
ought to spend $200000000 to equip
a fleet on the Pacific as large as that
of Japan.
