History / Biographical
Elizabeth Jane Adams (nee Bulloch) was born on January 8, 1886 in Lanark, ON. She left Ontario in 1904 to join family in the West. Elizabeth married Robert Adams (1878-1957) on July 25, 1906 and together had four children: Robert Stewart, Agnes Wilda, Jessie Doreen and Marion. The couple farmed at various locations during their married life. As newlyweds, they farmed the homestead at NW 2-6-29. In 1924, they moved to Sinclair SW 35-7-29, then bought NW quarter 26-7-29 from the Hudson's Bay Company and finally in 1928, they purchased SE quarter 34-7-29. During these years, Elizabeth assisted on the farm and also worked as an assistant to the local doctor. In 1923, Elizabeth and Robert's car was struck by a train when they stalled on the crossing at Sinclair while hauling supplies. Elizabeth and Robert retired to Sinclair in 1949. After Robert's death, Elizabeth moved out to the farm with her son, then later lived with daughter Marion and son-in-law Bill Mayert. In 1973, Elizabeth moved to the Westman Nursing Home in Virden, then in 1984 moved to Willowview Personal Care Home in Reston. Elizabeth Adams died on September 1, 1993 in Reston, MB. She is buried at Sinclair Cemetery.
