    Samuel Coleman McAdams was born in Washington, Indiana, December 25, 1968. His parents moved to Kansas in 1869 and settled on a farm near Topeka, purchased from the father of Vice-president Charles Curtis. In 1872 his father died, leaving a widow and five children in pioneer days of Kansas. Mr. McAdams was educated in the Kansas State University and Agricultural college. He engaged in farming at Rossville, Kansas, and later was employed in the banking business in Topeka.

    On March 22, 1907, he was married to Miss Ida White of Rossville, and the following fall moved to Walters, Okla., where he was also engaged in banking. In 1917, he came to Minco, where he took charge of the Citizens State bank and was later appointed postmaster.

    Mr. McAdams died April 20, 1929. Those surviving him are his wife, Mrs. Ida McAdams and three children, Margie, Samuel and James, a sister and brother, Mrs. E.G. Jamieson, Moline, Illinois, and E.M. McAdams, Joplin, Missouri. Mr. McAdams was a kind and loving husband and father and a patriotic citizen.
