Date and place of death unknown.a

Thayer's Note:

a Lt. Adams' death is not recorded in the Register, but its occurrence on Feb. 14, 1953 is recorded in an obituary in the Los Angeles Times (Feb. 17th): my thanks to Kristin Kaercher, a collateral descendant, who kindly forwarded it to me. It provides the further information that he had been living in Southern California for more than 35 years — at the time of his death, in Santa Monica — and had been active in the California Republican Central Committee.

The Web has traces of at least one book almost certainly by him, The Betrayal of America and the Rise and Decline of the Republican Party: (and with it the Nation), 1951; and a small work of which he was a co‑author or to which he contributed: Lecture Notes on Natural and Experimental Philosophy with Corrections, Comments and Grades "by Lt. Indicates a West Point graduate and gives his Class.

Indicates a West Point graduate and gives his Class.

Arthur Murray, assistant professor of philosophy". He also wrote the West Point Association of Graduates obituary (q.v.) of at least one fellow classmate, Indicates a West Point graduate and gives his Class.

Edward C. Young.

I also found the following information in the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form for the Adams Bag Company Paper Mill and Sack Factory in Chagrin Falls, OH, prepared Sept. 26, 2011 (which had been online at the Ohio Historical Society for a while, but with the continuing shrinkage of the Web is now gone):

On May 16, 1888, Fitch Adams passed away at his home at 1358 Euclid Ave. in Cleveland. (Exponent [Chagrin Falls] 24 May 1888; The Cleveland Social Directory). He had been coowner of Adams Co, and at the same time headed the Cleveland based Adams, Jewett & Co. At his father's death, Henry Ranney Adams resigned his commission in the military at Fort Meade, Dakota and came home to Cleveland to become superintendent and general manager of Adams, Jewett & Co. and the Chagrin Falls, Adams Co. manufacturing operations. (Adams 1899, 56).

Thayer's Note: That last reference is to Adams, Comfort A., Adams Family History, Genealogy Collection, Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland, Ohio, 1899.
