OBITUARY: Adams, Jane Dalton From: vivianmoon@juno.com    Date: May 23, 2004 May 9, 2004 Middletown Journal, Middletown, Ohio Jane Dalton Adams When Death claimed Jane Dalton Adams of North Marshall Road at age 98, at 2:15 p.m. Friday, May 7, 2004, she was surrounded by family and friends. She had not only outlived eight brothers and sisters, but was the only one to reach such an advanced age. Born in 1906 in Wolfe County, Ky., to Elizabeth Molly Buchanan and Silas Dalton, Mrs. Adams grew up near Campton and married John F. Adams in 1922. They lived near Mariba in Menifee County, where their first child, a son, Chalmer, was born. They moved to Middletown in 1926, where a daughter, Gwyn, was born, and she has been a resident of the area since that time, moving to Marshall Road after the death of her husband in 1971. Mrs. Adams had been an active member of the Breiel Blvd. Church of God for more than 60 years, joining the congregation in the 1930s when the church was located on Crawford Street. Known for her skill as a precision seamstress, Mrs. Adams was a founding member of the churchıs Needlecraft Quilting Circle, a group of ladies whose talents raised funds for church activities. Jane was active with the Circle until she suffered a stroke in 1989. We have the memory of a loving Christian mother, whose church and family meant all. Jane is survived by a daughter, Gwyn Blake, and her husband Thomas, whom she considered a son, of Middletown; a son, Chalmer and his wife Ruth, of Rocky River, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio; granddaughters Terri Blake Halsey (husband, Tim) and Lisa Blake French (fiance Andy Cope) of Middletown, and Sandy Adams Norris (husband, David) of Cleveland, Ohio; great-granddaughters Courtney, Rachel and Kelly French of Middletown, and Lori Ann Evans (husband, Dr. Brian Evans) of Durham, N.C.; great-grandsons Lee Norris (wife, Allison), Mark, and John Norris, of Lakewood, Ohio; three great-great-grandchildren, Edie Katharine, Elliot Blake and Ian Robert Evans, of Durham, N.C. She was preceded in death by her husband; five sisters, Maude Madden, Edna Adams, Bess Combs, Mary Campbell and Cleo Dalton; and three brothers, Charles, Troy and Ed Dalton. She will be sadly missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her. The family is blessed by a loving, caring extended family that made it possible for Mom to remain in her own home; we love them and consider them one of our own. ARRANGEMENTS: Funeral services will be 1 p.m. Tuesday at the Breitenbach-McCoy-Leffler Funeral Home, the Rev. Eric Newell of the Church of God officiating. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service. Burial will follow at Woodside Cemetery.
