ADAMS - Lee Center - The death of our townsman, Mr. Warren Adams, which occurred in Rome at the County House last Friday, was not unlooked by his neighbors and friends in Lee. For years he has been old and decrepit -- laboring as best he could to support himself. He had outlived his brother Asa and four sisters, and was left alone to bear the name of Adams -- except his sister, Jane K., the widow of the late Issac Nisbet, of Lee. Mrs. Nisbet lives with her daughter, Mrs. Byron Spencer, at Farlbault, Minn. Recently he took the advice of friends and neighbors and was carried to the County House for winter quarters, where he could be more comfortable than he could be in Lee without a home. His remains were deposited in the County Home cemetery -- for the winter at least. The remains of his first wife rest in the Lee Center Cemetery.

Miss Clara Anken, one of the most successful and widely known business woman in Oneida County, died at her home in Western, one and one half mile from Westernville, at 11 o'clock on Monday night. Her illness was of short duration and her death is a shock to her many friends. Last Wednesday she was taken ill with measles and from the first was very sick. Complications soon set in and her failure was rapid. On Saturday evening she lost consciousness and from then on but little hope was had of her recovery. She never regained consciousness,

Miss Anken was born in Constableville, Lewis County, October 5, 1861. Her parents were Jacob Anken and Elizabeth Walti, both of whom died several years ago. When three years old her parents moved to Western and there spent the remainder of her life, which since reaching womanhood had been very busy and successful. Upon the death of her uncle, Samuel Anken, about seven years ago, Miss Anken became the owner and manager of one of the finest farms in the Town of Western. With that she later took management of another excellent farm, so that she had the care of between 500 and 600 acres of land, with the stock and everything that goes to make up two complete farming properties. She always employed the most competent help to carry out her work, but the actual planning and management of the farms, marketing of the produce and hundreds of her lesser details all came under her personal supervision. Her success was as marked as her life was busy. But few men in the county are more able agriculturists than Miss Anken was, nor do they take greater interest in everything that tends to promote better farming conditions than she did.

Aside from her busy business life, Miss Anken was a most agreeable woman to meet. Her manner was pleasing and gracious, her mind was well stored with many interesting things and she was a very pleasing conversationalist. Her acquaintance was large and many people today, both in Western and for miles around, are deeply grieved to know that Miss Anken will be among in life no more. She was well known in this city, her business calling her here every few days. She is survived by one sister, Mrs. David Andregg of Lee, and two nieces and nephews.

The scripture employed as text by the pastor, Rev. G. W.
