    IN MEMORIAM MARY ADAMS
    The Sterling Women' s Missionary Society recalls with gratitude the long, faithful, and devoted ministry of Miss Mary Adams for Christ and His church. Her public ministry began in youth at the Indian Mission. In 1912 she was appointed as an evangelistic missionary to China and her love and care for Chinese people continued to the day of her death, December 13, 1974. When detained from China during World War II, she served in our Kentucky Mission, but later returned to China. When missionaries were forced out of China by the advance of the Communists, she went to Japan with our missionaries who opened up work there. When she reached retirement age she moved to Wichita, Kansas and went almost daily into Chinese homes there to teach the Bible. Blindness, increasing deafness, and declining physical strength did not lessen her zeal or diminish her faithfulness. Her selfless, untiring devotion will continue to be a challenge to the whole church. Truly she was faithful unto death and now has received the crown of life that does not fade away. "This is not death, but triumph and reward: To walk by faith through all life's little day And then, at eventide, to meet the Lord And hand in hand with Him to go away. "This is not death — this is abundant life, Eternal life, the freeing of the soul For bliss beyond earth's time of toil and strife This is not death, but the immortal goal."

    Cooper Courier, Sterling, Kansas. Tuesday, 27 March 1917.


    An engagement that will be of interest to a large circle of friends of the young couple was announced last Friday evening, to a company of the young lady friends of Miss Belle Edgar, who informed her friends of her coming marriage to Richard C. Adams who is now a student in the White Bible school in New York City completing his preparations to leave in the fall as a missionary to China. The announcement of the coming nuptials was made at a delightful little affair which was given Friday evening by Miss Edgar at her home. An interesting feature of the affair was the fact that the announcement of her engagement was made on the thirty-fifth anniversary of the marriage of her parents and the affair was also a celebration of that event. The announcement was made in a unique manner. Printed slips were passed bearing two statements, both of which were badly ‘pied.” When the jumbled letter were property arranged the first was found to be a statement of the anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar and the second told of the coming wedding. When the coming event was know the bride-to-be was showered with good wishes by the guests. During the evening a two course lunch was served and later the guest inspected the pretty new Edgar home from garret to cellar. The date of the coming wedding was not announced, but it will be an event of the coming summer and the couple will leave the first of September to take up their work in China. Miss Edgar is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Edgar of this city and Mr. Adams is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Adams, also of Sterling. Both are graduates of Cooper college and have a large circle of friends in Sterling and community to whom the announcement of the coming nuptials will be of much interest. After finishing his course at Cooper, Mr. Adams took a course in the Reformed Presbyterian Seminary, at Pittsburgh, Pa., and became a licensed minister. After finished his course there he went to New York to make special preparation for his missionary work.

    When the boy was five years of age, the family moved to a farm near Superior, Nebraska. Here Walter spent the most of his active life, engaged in farming and stock-raising. In 1946, on account of failing health, he retired from farm work, and moved to Loveland, Colorado.
    In early manhood, he united with the Reformed Presbyterian (Scotch Covenanter) Church, but later on , he transferred his membership to the United Presbyterian Church.
    Mr. Crawford was a quiet and unassuming man, a kind an helpful friend and neighbor, faithful in the discharge of every duty. With the tender solicitude of a father he assumed responsibility for his sister’s four orphaned children. The latter part of his life was marked with weakness and suffering, but his affliction was borne with a patient resignation which told of a genuine faith in the sovereign wisdom and goodness of God.
    Those remaining to mourn Mr. Crawford’s passing are his sister, Celia Crawford, Loveland, Color.; two nephews and one niece, Charles C. Moranville, Sparks, Nevada, Walter C. Moranville, Arvada, Col., and Ruth (Moranville) Tjaden, Madrid, Neb.; also four grandnieces, four grandnephews, together with other relatives, neighbors and friends.

    Notes:

    Lois Nadine Graham was born in Hong Kong British Territory August 3, 1921. Her parents, Richard Cameron and Mary Belle (Edgar) Adams were missionaries to China. When the communist regime required all missionaries to leave, the family moved to the Cache Creek Indian Mission in Apache OK. Lois grew up there and on March 27, 1942 she married E.E. (Bud) Graham at the mission with her father officiating.
    After their marriage, Bud and Lois moved to Wichita KS where both worked for Beech Aircraft during World War II. Using money they saved due to the fact that Bud did not smoke, they started building a herd of Golden Guernsey cows. They moved to Topeka KS where they continued to build their dairy and Lois worked as an accountant for a local car dealership. While living there, they adopted son William (Bill). Tired of the cold winters and not liking that Lois had to work outside the home, they sold their farm and cows and moved to Phoenix AZ in 1954. There they were instrumental in the growth of a new RPCNA (Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America) congregation and adopted son Timothy. Later they began attending the Laveen Baptist Church and were very active members there.
    In the mid 1990s, they moved to Salome AZ for health reasons and joined in the fellowship of the Wenden Bible Church.
    Lois was welcomed into the presence of her Savior and Lord on October 30, 2012.
    She is survived by two sons: Bill (Mary) Graham of Lawrence, KS and Timothy Graham of Glendale, AZ; four grandchildren: Brandon (Andrea) Graham of Lawrence KS, Meghan Graham (and fiancé Aaron West) of Manhattan KS, Candice Graham of Phoenix AZ, and Josh Graham of Phoenix AZ; five great-grandchildren: Ethan, Rebecca, Jake, Ben and Charlie; sister-in-law Madge Adams of Darlington PA; sister Marion McMillan of Darlington PA; brother Bruce (Charlotte) Adams of Warren MI; and sister Ruth (Gene) Spear of Olathe KS. She was predeceased by her husband of 56 years, E.E. (Bud) Graham, daughter-in-law Ruthe Graham, brother Roy Adams and brother-in-law John McMillan.
    Though tiny in stature, Lois was a giant spiritually and graciously served her Lord faithfully as wife, mother and homemaker. She selflessly served others performing hospice duties, working in a Women’s Alcohol Rehabilitation Mission, working political polls, teaching Sunday School, leading women’s Bible studies, and working with church youth groups. Those who knew her will remember her for her kindness to all, her bright eyes, her infectious giggle, and her love for the Lord.
