(IV) James L., son of Leonard and Amy (Crocker) Adams, was born at Ossian, Liv- ingston county, New York, October 31, 1847. As a youth he was educated in the public schools at Rushford and completed his educa- tion at the academy in the same town. At the outbreak of the civil war he was not old enough to enlist, but waited in feverish im- patience for the long years to roll by until he should attain the required age. On Septem- ber 2, 1864, nearly two months before he was seventeen, he enlisted as a private in Company I, One Hundred and Twentieth New York In- fantry Volunteers, serving through the ardu- ous campaign terminating in the battles around Petersburg, and being with General Grant at Lee's final surrender at Appomattox. He re- ceived honorable discharge June 21, 1865, and immediately entered Eastman's Business Col- lege to prepare himself for the business career in which he has been so justly successful. He was graduated in March, 1866, returning to Rushford where he occupied a position as school teacher for a short time. In 1872 he moved to Bradford where for two years he was manager of a cheese factory, then a book- keeper, and until 1892 was manager of Swift & Company's beef house. In that year he be- came a member of the Rock Glycerine Com- pany, dealers in high explosives, who furnished most of the well drillers of that section with the torpedoes used in opening the wells, later entering the firm of the Bradford Torpedo Company. In 1899 he established as an oil producer and has met with unusual, although certainly well deserved, success. He is high in control of several of Bradford's most vigor- ous and prosperous industries. Although past the prime of life Mr. Adams still retains his personal interest in all his business affairs and each day finds him at his desk. He is one of Bradford's most progressive and esteemed WRIGHT citizens and is always on the alert to take ad- vantage of any plan which will result in the United States.
