Lake Maxinkuckee -
the Beautiful By Joe S. Miller Indianapolis Star, Jul 2 1905 there were scenes of
Lake Maxinkuckee and photos of cittages - tho nothing of mention of them - it was
an article of ramblings of reminecences of past history/lengends of Lake Maxinkuckee.
This was one and identified as the "H. C. Adams Cottage" |
|
Between Henry C. "Harry" Adams Sr. and Henry C. Adams Jr. they had the cottage on the
East Side from sometime before 1898, as this picture appeared in the 1898 souviner
bulletin for Lake Mainkuckee sometime before the 1922 plat map - possibly; the Adams
family members are diffinetly are not listed on the 1930 list of Cottagers that was
printer in the Culver Citizen. Henry C. Sr. died 1910 and Henry Jr. was till living
in 1930. This is conjuecture till proven - but the connection is there - Henry Clay Jr.
was a Culver Military Academy graduate. Now this is where deeds, absracts and the like
come into play! By plat maps it seems to have become the F. D. Ferguson cottage
in 1922.
Henry Clay Adams Sr. - was born on 8 Apr. 1844 in Indianapolis, Ind and died on 14 Nov.
1910 in Indianapolis, Ind and was buried in Crown Hill - sec 16 lot 59 . He was the son
of Reuben S. Jr. and Mary Matilda (Glazier) Adams.

Death Closes Life of Henry C. Adams
Prominent Business Man, Clubman and Former Political Leader Answers Last Call
Broonchial Trouble Cause
Held Distinction of Being An Acting Thirty-Third Degree Member of the Scottish Rite.
Henry C. Adams Sr., familarlly known to his firends as "Harry" Adams, one of the most prominent
buisness men of Indianapolis, a leader in clud lie and the masonic fraternity, died last evening
at 7 o'clock at his hom, 1412 North New Jersey Street.
He had been forced to give up attention to his business affairs several weeks aho, but had been
able to take short walks until abou two weeks ago. Death was due to bronchial trouble.
The death of Mr. Adams closed a long and active career, during which he did much for the city, whose bret interest he always held
close to his heart. In industry his name was linked to national enterprises, many of which testify in his ability as a stone
contractor, which vocation he followed actively until a short time ago. In fraternal circles he had held high postitions, having
enjoyed distinction in most of the highest offices in the Masonic order. As a man of the home he held the admiration of his neighbors,
who recall his talent as a charming raconteur of his experineces both in the civil war and in political life in Indianapolis.
Mr. Adams was born in Indianapolis April 8, 1844. When President Lincoln gave his call for volunteers at the outbreak of the civil
war, her tried to enlist, but was found to be too young to carry a musket. He obtained a bugle and in a short time was able to sound
the calls. Then he presented himself before the recruiting officers again and was enrolled as a bugler. He always was in the thickest
of the fray and served throughout the campaign, four and a half years, after which he was dismissed from the service with the rank of
captain, having reached the official postition of first lieutenant while in active service
ONCE ACTIVE IN POLITICS
As soon as he returned to Indianapolis he allied himself with the Republican party and became conspicuous in all campaigns, serving
on all campaign committies of note. Whe he returned from the war he was made deputy sheriff under George Parker and held the same
position the following term under Col N. R. Ruckel. In 1874 Mr. Adams was nominated for the office of sheriff on the Republican
ticket, but was defeated. In 1880 he ran again, however, and was elected. In 1884 Mr. Adams was a delegate to the national Republican
convention in Chiicago, when James G. Blante was nominated for the presidency
Mr. Adams was on of the few veteran Republican politicians now living who during the eighties, when politics was at white heat in
Indianapolis, formed what was known as the "big six", a group of men considered the Republican leaders at that time.
With the exception of two years Mr. Adams spent all his time in Indianapolis after the war. A few years ago he undertook the building
of the gigantic reservoirs at Nashville, Tenn., which kept him away from Indianapolis two years. He furneished the stone for this
project from the Flatrock quarries st. St. Paul , Ind., which he owned. A monoumet to his memor may be found in Indianapolis in the
new Centeral Avenue Bridhe; which he assisted in building.
HIGH IN MASONIC ORDER
Mr. Adams held many high positions in Masonic circles. He was a past eminent commander of the Indiana Commandery, Knights Templars.
He also was an acrive thirty-thrid degree member of the Scottish Rite. Another thirty-third degree man, Samuel B. Sweet, died
recently. Mr. Adams held high, offices in all Scottish and York Rites bodies. He became a Mason about 1868. He was a member of the
Raper Commandery Drill Corps many years ago, which is noted for its national prizes.
All trade and commercial circles of Indianapolis found a ready supporter in Mr. Adams. He was a member of the Indianapolis Board of
Trade and a charter member of the Commercial Club. He also had been connected with the Columbia Club since its organization. As a
story teller he was noted in the state, and his narratives always were pointer and applicable as illustrations in his conversations.
This made him a favorite in all clubs.
Mr. Adams also was active in church affairs, having been a member of the First Baptist Church many years. He was kindly disposed to
all worthy charities and contributed freely.
He is survived by two sons and two daughters. They are Bertrand N. Adams, 129 West Twenty-first street; Henry Clay Adams Jr., 103
Pratt Street; Mrs. S. A. Johnston, 132 Central avenus, and Mrs. W. D. Hacker, 1418 Central avenue. Mrs. Adams died in 1904.
The funeral probably will be held Thursday. Final Arrangement have not been made.
Henry married Stella E. Barneclo on 15 Apr. 1868 in Marion Co. Ind. Stella was born on 17 Jun. 1846 in Georgetown, D.C. She was the daughter of John M. Barneclo.
She died on 29 Aug. 1904 in Indianapolis, Ind. and was buried in Crown Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis - sec 16 lot 59. Stella - Stella was a "Belle of the
Southside" (of Indianapolis). Her name was listed as "Saltillo" in the 1860 Census. Of her death is found:
Indianapolis Star, Aug 30, 1904 - "One of the prominent women of the city ... her death was rather unexpected, although it
was known some time ago that she must surely, sooner or later, succumb to the disease from which she suffered."
Henry C. Adams was a Stone Contractor - Attended Indianapolis Public Schools until 14. Joined Indiana Volunteer Infantry 7/25/1861. Declared
ineligible because of age and stature and rejoined as Bugle Boy. Served in Civil War with General Fremont 1861, Gen. Shofield 1862,

Henry C. Adams, more generally known as Harry Adams, was born in Indianapolis on the 8th
of April, 1844; he is the eldest son of the late Reuben Adams. Mr. Adams is married to Miss
Stella Barneclo, who was a belle of the southside. During the war he was a lieutenant in the
26th regiment Indiana volunteers; He enlisted as a prvate.
In 1866 he was appointed deputy sheriff, a position which he held until 1875. While Mr. Adams
was in the sherriff's office he did the most important part of the business.
He was nominated by the Republican party for Sheriff in 1874 but was defeated by Mr. Albert
Reissner. Mr Reissner magnanimously offered to retain him, but he preferred other business. He
is now engaged as asignee in bankrupt cases, and does most of the business in that line for
this city.
Mr. Adams' father was one of the earliest settlers of Marion county, and himself a deputy sherrif
for a considerable time, and for a length of time engaged in the dry goods business. There was a
large family of Adams, uncles of Harry, living near Bethel, in the southeast part of the county.
Harry Adams is perhaps as well known in this county as any man in it.

Henry C. Adams. Every branch of business connected with the building industry is important, for the demand, both private and public,
is constantly on the increase, and its supplying is furnishing the opportunity for the exercise of abilities in this direction of
some of the most energetic and substantial men of the country. Especially is this true in a city of the magnitude of Indianapolis
where the needs of its citizens and the requirements of public service, far exceed the capacities of the concerns given over to
building activities. One of the men who has made a name for himself in this direction is Henry C. Adams whose large business
interests center in the supplying of paving materials of all kinds throughout the city and its vicinity for a wide radius. He was
born at Indianapolis, in 1875. His greatgrandfather, Doctor Adams came to Indiana in 1818 and located at New Bethel where, in
addition to carrying on the practice of medicine, he became the owner of a large tract of land, much of which still remains in the
family. His son, Reuben Adams, grandfather of Henry C. Adams, came to Indianapolis at an early day, and for a number of years was
prominent here, and at the time of his death, in 1860, held a court position, which had been his for a long period. The father of
Mr. Adams of this review, also Henry C. Adams, was a well-known figure in business and public life here, and for a number of years
operated the large stone quarries at Saint Paul , Indiana. Throughout the war of the sixties he served in the Union army. Growing
up in the city of his nativity, the younger Henry C. Adams attended its public schools, and later Culver Military Academy, from
which he was graduated in 1895. Returning home he went into the stone business with his father, and until 1909 was overseer of the
Saint Paul quarries, during this period gaining a thorough knowledge of the business. In 1910 he went into his present undertaking,
and has steadily progressed, winning the confidence of the trade and the public. He is a Republican in his political views.
Fraternally he has been advanced in the Scottish Rite in Masonry, and he also belongs to the Mystic Shrine. He is a member of the
University, Indianapolis Country, Hoosier Motor and Hoosier Athletic clubs. During the late war he devoted two years to Red Cross
work. In 1899 he was married to Miss Mary Pickens of Indianapolis, and they have two children: Henry P. and Samuel. Both he, and his
wife are valued members of the Presbyterian Church.

SUMMER VISITOR AT RYE BEACH CAUSES ALARM
Henry Johnson of Indianapolis,Ind., summer resident of Rye Beach, was the cause of
the latest "Dillinger case" yesterday. Police were breathing more easily last night
after his identity and reputation had been established. Police attention had been
called to Johnson's car, bearing Indiana plates, which was parked at Beach street
and Harrison Avenue, Boston, Mass., yesterday, having in it a 38-calibre automatic
pistol, 12 clips of shells and 50 cartridges for a 45-calibre automatic pistol. The
officers immediately conjured up visions of Dillinger and his gang being there for
taking possession of the funds of Boston's leading banks with consequent gun-play
and bloodshed. They took the gun and ammunition, leaving several officers to watch
the car.
A short time later Mr. Johnson arrived at the car with his mother and a young lady. He
explained that he had gone to the South station to meet them and was on his way to their
summer home at Rye Beach.
Mr. Johnson produced an interstate revolver license and papers to show that he is a crack
shot and a member of the National Rifle Association. - (THE PORTSMITH HERALD)
