| Pomeroy,
WA. -- Bruce Allen Adams passed away on May 14,
2008, after a long struggle with heart disease and
diabetes.
Bruce was born July
4, 1929, at the family homestead, near Gandy, Logan
County, Nebraska, to William C. and Celeste B.
Adams. He joined brother Samuel and Kyle and sister
Thelma. Sister Doris (Mickey) came along a few years
later. Dry land farming the Nebraska sand hills was
not the best at the time he was born. In 1934 the
family moved to Sutherland, Nebraska, to carry the
U.S. Mail, farm, and thresh small grain. The farming
operation later grew into a fairly large enterprise.
In his lifetime he saw the end of horse and mule
farming and the evolution of the mechanization of
today. He loved to watch the modern farmers work the
fields in Garfield County where he spent his last
years. The area was very similar to the area he grew
up, only with a lot more hills. He was a farm boy at
heart. |
