In August 1919 we first met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chester Adams, in honor of Dr. R.U. Adams of Kalamazoo, and Harry Adams of Marcellus. (Handwritten note by the secretary)
News article (probably Marcellus News):
Mr. and Mrs. C.H. Adams entertained about thirty-five of the Adams family at
their farm home at Harmony Chapel on Sunday, July 6th. The assembly was a “Welcome
Home” to Lieut. Harry Adams, of Los Angeles, Calif., and Capt. and Mrs.
R.U. Adams of Kalamazoo, all of whom recently returned from overseas service.
Those present were Mr. and Mrs. George Adams and Hyldred of Marcellus, Hazel
Adams of Battle Creek, Helen Adams of Flint, Lieut. Harry Adams of Los Angeles,
