The Passing of Dan Adams
The passing of a kindly old soul was the passing was that in the death of one of Choteau's oldest dads, the passing of Franklyn Adams, better known as "Dad" Adams.
Dad made his home for the last four years with Mr. and Mrs. John Brolsma, and passed away at their home. He was a lover of flowers and had in years gone by various kinds of which he had often taken first prize at the Choteau flower shows. Old age crept over him fast in the last few years making him feeble, and while he couldn't get about to enjoy life he would sit in his door and watch things grow.
Kindly by nature, considerate of others, and appreciative of any kindness, big or small, shown him, he enjoyed the autumn season best and had remarked it was God's paintings put here to show us how little we know. I want to take this way of thanking the folks who so kindly assisted at his death and burial.
