Wills Point Chronicle, March 18, 1886
Died, near Able Springs, Van Zandt County [note this is not in Van Zandt County, but Kaufman County], February 10, 1886. Mr. T. D. Adams [note: this is Young D. Adams], the subject of this notice was born October 26 [sic], 1853. When at the tender age of 17, he signed the temperance pledge, which he kept inviolate till death. In the fall of '71, he professed faith in Christ and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian church. He was a faithful, earnest, self-denying Christian. He lived for the glory of God, and the advancement of His cause. With him, religion was not a bare profession of faith, but a holy life. In the loss of brother Adams, the church has lost a faithful member and an efficient elder. As the last ray of light faded from his eyes, the ineffable glories of the celestial state burst upon his enraptured vision, it was the dawning of an eternal day upon his glorified spirit. And now, from the further shore comes his voice in familiar accent, weep not for me. His last words were "God's will be done" "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord." Signed by J. A. Burgess.
