• Notes

  Ernest was the son of Bluford W and Mary M Adamson.  About 1886, he attended Trinity University in Tehuacana, Texas.* He married Linne Mae Clark in 1909. They had no children.  He owned a mercantile store in Mexia. Delivering a load of lumber in a horse-pulled wagon, he was killed when the wagon overturned. The stone was erected by Mae. When she died 28 years later, neighbors (specificially a lawyer and his wife) went into her home and took everything valuable. Left for their family was only the house, old photographs and a few pieces of furniture that the neighbors didn't steal. *Trinity University opened in Tehuacana 1869, but moved in 1902 to San Antonio, where it operates still.
