Horace Adams, Kansas Cattle King, Is Dead
Leader of Livestock Growers in State
Heart Failure Is Fatal to Maple Hill Man Taking Vacation In Los Angeles
Horace G. Adams, 71, of Maple Hill, one of the outstanding cattle men of this state, died Sunday in Los Angeles, Calif. He had been ill with pneumonia only a few days. It affected his heart, causing death.
About 10 days ago Mr. and Mrs. Adams drove to California with Fred Raymond, a young man from California. The Adamses usually go to the West coast every year, but this was the first time they had driven. They bought a new Lincoln automobile for this trip.
As head of the Adams Cattle Co., Mr. Adams was one of the leading agriculturists and livestock men of Kansas. He was the son of a pioneer stockman and built up holdings in land and animals to big dimensions during his life. All three of his sons were associated with him in the company. They were the largest owners of river bottom and upland farms in Wabaunsee county, had a big ranch near Plains, Kan., and recently bought the Hodgins ranch near Silver Lake.
50 Years In Kansas
Mr. Adams was born in Mendota, Ill., October 21, 1862. He came to Wabaunsee county with his father, Alex Adams, about 1882. His father was a leader in banking, but Horace G. went into the cattle business. His sons have followed him in the Adams Cattle Co., which is probably the largest cattle firm in the state.
The company operates a ranch of 70,000 acres in Meade county, near Plains, and a 12,000-acre ranch near Maple Hill. Every year about 2,400 calves are branded on the XI breeding ranch at Plains, and sent to the Wabaunsee ranch feeding grounds. The company usually buys that many other animals to feed and market.
In addition to these holdings there are large tracts of land, among them the recently acquired Hodgins ranch near Silver Lake.
Stock Association Head
Mr. Adams was a member of the executive committee of the Kansas Live Stock association, president of the Stockgrowers State bank of Maple Hill, and a director of the Interstate National bank of Kansas City.
He is survived by his widow, three sons, and four daughters. The sons are Alex and Raymond of Maple Hill, and Horace, who is on the XI ranch at Plains. The daughters are Mrs. James Tod, Mrs. John Roberts, and Mrs. William Miller of Maple Hill, and Mrs. Frank Dougan of Topeka.
The body will be brought to Maple Hill for burial.
