WI BIO - Kenosha Co - ADAMSON, George

George ADAMSON was for a long period actively and prominently identified with 
farming interests, but to a considerable extent is now living retired. He 
has achieved success and deserves much credit therefor, as his prosperity has 
resulted entirely from his earnings and persistent efforts. George ADAMSON 
was born in Bristol Township, Kenosha County, WI, 03 Aug 1872, his parents 
being George and Johanna (GUIENNEA) ADAMSON, the former a native of Dublin, 
Ireland.

George ADAMSON pursued his education in the common schools to the age of 17 
years, and afterward worked with his father upon the old homestead farm until 
the latter's death, save for a period of two years which he spent in Kenosha. 
He has always carried on general agricultural pursuits, working diligently 
to till and soil and produce crops adequate to the car and labor which he 
bestows on the fields. He has always fully realized the value of persistent 
industry and upon earnest effort has based his success. Year after year he 
continued to develop and improve his farm of 160 acres until 1913, when he 
disposed of that property and bought five and a half acres known as the 
WOODSTOCK place.

On 05 Oct 1904, George ADAMSON was married to Miss Lena HELLER, a native of 
Glenhaven [Grant County], WI, and a daughter of John HELLER. To George and 
Lena (HELLER) ADAMSON have been born five sons: Joseph, Harry, Walter, 
George Jr., and Arthur. George ADAMSON votes with the Democratic party where 
national issues are involved, but at local elections supports the candidate 
whom he thinks best qualified for the office, regardless of party 
affiliation. He belongs to the Catholic church. From the age of 17 years he 
has concentrated his efforts upon agricultural pursuits, and his success is 
the legitimate and merited reward of labor intelligently directed.
