Mrs. Ada Lucy Adams, who died June 30 in Glenwood Springs at the age of 90 years, was an early day postmaster at Minturn, Colorado.
Ada Lucy Mann was born Sept. 17, 1862, at Palmer, Mass., and spent her childhood and young girlhood at Fort Wayne, Ind. On April 10, 1880, she was married to John Weaver of Fort Wayne.
In 1885, with her four-year-old daughter she came west, going to Soldier Summit, Utah. There a year later she married Samuel G. Adams, a conductor on the Denver and Rio Grand Railroad, and the following 12 years were spent in Salida, Minturn and Glenwood Springs. Because of failing health, Mr. Adams was forced to retire from the railroad, and they moved to Steamboat Springs, where both Mr. and Mrs. Adams became identified with the development of the Moffat railroad, and together with their friend, David Moffat, gave much of their time to the railroad project.
Mrs. Adams was a charter member of the Steamboat Springs Eastern Star chapter. After Mr. Adams' death in 1917, she returned to Minturn for several years, where she was postmaster for a time. In 1920 she was accepted for employment in Washington and Carson City, Nev. In the autumn of 1941, she returned to Colorado, living with her daughter, Mrs. Fran Terrill at New Castle and with a grandson at Divide Creek.
She is survived by her daughter, Mae Terrill; a granddaughter, Gladys Githins, Eagle; grandson, Ralph Terrell [sic] of Divide Creek; a great-granddaughter, Peggy Neuberger and two great-great-grandchildren, Georgia and Gerald Neuberger, all of Loma, Colorado.
Funeral services were held in Glenwood at the Farnum Mortuary, and the body was taken to Grand Junction for cremation, the remains were taken to Steamboat Springs for burial.
