Biography

1878 portrait of Adams

Adams was born at Dorchester, Massachusetts, April 21, 1842. He came from revolutionary ancestors, being a descendant of Samuel Adams, as well as of Hannah Dustin, of Haverhill, Massachusetts.[3] He was the son of Ira and Mary Elizabeth Adams, née Senter. He had 9 siblings, and was the youngest of all of them.

He received a common school education, and at the age of fifteen entered into mercantile pursuits. During the American Civil War, at age 22, Adams enlisted in the 13th Massachusetts Infantry.[4] He was wounded in action at Gettysburg, and taken as a prisoner of war.[5][6] On his release from prison, he was detailed for hospital duty.[4]

In 1864 he returned to Boston and once more engaged in mercantile business.[3] He was married to Hattie Louise on October 11, 1870 in Boston. The couple had two children, Charles Mills and Ella Paige Adams.[7] In 1872, he began writing humorous verses for periodicals and newspapers in a burlesque broken-English imitation[8] of Pennsylvania German dialect.[6] His first published work was "The Puzzled Dutchman" which appeared in Our Young Folks.[4]

Adams died at his home in Roxbury on March 8, 1918.[9]
