Death of Harry Adams
The Boundry Creek Times Friday Oct 31 1902
Harry C. Adams passed away yesterday afternoon (he actually died on Sat Oct 25th ) as a result of injuries received at the Le Roi mine on Wednesday last.
On Friday deceased underwent an operation for the reduction of the compound fracture of his right leg above the knee, the attendant physicians having concluded upon consultation that the operation was essential if Mr. Adams was to have a chance at life. In the coarse of the operation it was descovered that the injury was even more serious than had been thought at first, and after the ordeal grave doubt was felt as to the ultimate results. The accident had been followed by severe shock and this was repeated to a considerable extent after the operation. Mr Adams passed quietly away Saturday morning. Deceased came to Rossland ten months ago from Greenwood, where he had been a shift boss in the Mother Lode mine, then managed by his father-in-law Richard Hutchinson. His mother resides in Spokane. Since coming here deceased worked at the Josie and Le Roi mines being employed on the timber gang in the latter property at the time of the accident.
The late Mr Adams was an ex-member fo the Knights of Pythias and was a member in good standing of Boundry Villiage lodge No. 38 Independent Order of Oddfellows. The local lodge of the fraternity has taken charge ofthe remains and will attend to the funeral arrangements after consultation with the relatives of dceased.
As a workman and a citizen the late Mr. Adams was eminently respected. Of retiring disposition he made acquaintances slowly, but those who knew him regarded him as a man in the best sense of the word. He was possessed of superb nerve as was evident by the unmurmuring fortitude with which he bore the terrible agony of his injuries.
About a year ago deceased was united in marriage to Miss Moffat, formerly of Rossland, with whom he resided on St. Paul street north.
The remains will be shipped to Spokane for burial on the 10:30 train tomorrow morning-Rossland Miner
