Obituary can be found in Feb. 3, 1906 The Seward Gateway, pg. 3, col. 4:
Albert I. Adams died yesterday morning in his room in the McNeiley hotel of cerebral meningitis, after an illness of about a week. The malady was caused by an abscess in the left ear which broke unexpectedly and spread to the base of the brain, a condition necessarily fatal. He was unconscious for nearly twenty-four hours before death, but prior to that suffered great pain. Mr. Adams came to Seward from Seattle early in December and at once took the position of bookkeeper for Brown & Hawkins, which was secured for him by his old friend, K. L. Whittemore. The two had been county employees together in Seattle for four years from January 1893 to January 1897, Mr. Adams in the auditor's office and Mr. Whittemore in the clerk's office. After going out with his party following the political upheaval of 1896, Mr. Adams was elected secretary of the Seattle Athletic Club and continued in that position seven years. He then held various positions in Seattle as an expert bookkeeper and accountant. Last fall he became seized with the fever which young Americans have for invading new regions and wrote to Mr. Whittemore of his wish to come to Seward with the result that a place was quickly secured for him. In Seattle Mr. Adams had a wide acquaintance and many friends through his connection with the Athletic Club and in politics. He was what is known as a good mixer and had made numerous friends since coming to Seward. He leaves a wife in Seattle, and his mother resides in Livonia, New York.
