She is survived by the following children: Eugene Adamson of McKinney, Judge Walter Adamson of Ranger, Texas; Clint Adamson of San Antonio, Texas; Mrs. Q. D. Hall, Colorado City, Texas; Mrs. Harper, wife of Judge John Harper of El Paso, Texas; and Mrs. P. E.

One of her granddaughters is Miss Eula Harper of El Paso who went to Brazil several years ago as a missionary teacher and worker of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. She is still a Brazil missionary. The deceased was a sister of the late contractor John W. Hamilton of McKinney and of the late Henry Hamilton, pioneer McKinney nurseryman.
