GEORGE A. ADAMS, attorney and Representative, is a native of Morgan County,
Ind., and was born June 4, 1849. The county which gave him birth has made him
a home. In his youth, after attending the common schools of the county, he
went to the State University at Bloomington, Ind., for two years, and from
which he graduated in the profession of law in 1872. He was Principal of the
High Schools of Morgantown one year, after which, in April, 1873, he engaged
in the practice of his profession, and has continued the same since that
time. December 28, 1876, he married, at Brazil, Clay County, Miss Mattie
Bennett, which union has given birth to two children--an infant and Roy B.
(deceased). Mr. Adams is a Republican, and was sent to the Legislature, as a
Representative of Morgan County in November, 1882. He is a member of the
venerable Masonic fraternity, and also of the Beta Theta Pi--a college
organization--and of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Adams is the
