Adam Innes
Adam Innes was born in Musselburg, Scotland April 10th, 1820.
He was married Oct. 4th 1844 to Miss Helen McNeil and four years later
came to this country where he settled near Ellenville, Ulster Co., N. Y.
In the year 1865 he moved to Granville, which until the time of his death
was his place of residence.
Mr. Innes, as a business man, had few equals, fewer superiors. He was
a man of rare wisdom, sound judgment, transparent integrity and untiring
industry. He was exact but not exacting; shrewd – in a better sense of
that word – but not subtle: princely but not pompous; he was economical
without being parsimonious, and generous without extravagance. Promptness,
thoroughness and perseverance, were common virtues with him.
He was ambitious; but ambitious to be faithful to his obligations, his craftsmen and his fellowmen. Personal advantage or love of gain for its own sake seemed to be alien to his nature. He did not compromise principle for fear of injury thereby to his person or property.
A staunch friend of temperance he was ready, when necessary, to stand alone in our county Court and urge measures which he knew would be for the best interests of the community, and especially of working-men. Those who differed from his views of anti-license could not but feel that he was acting from principle and not from personal interest.
His relation to his employees was such as stimulated in them an interest in his welfare. The secret of this interest for his successes was his interest in theirs. They felt he was a worker with them and not that he was using them as tools for his own aggrandizement.
In business transactions he illustrated the true relation between labor and capital – that they are handmaids one to the other. If the principles which he practiced obtained every where in the toiling world, we should soon cease to hear of riots, strikes or Unions among laboring men for purposes of self protection. He helped protect others from want, injustice and their own weaknesses. A prince in business circles he was a friend to the laborer. And to whom was he not a friend. The circle was wide which claims and holds his friendship. And why? Because his sympathies were wide and deep.
In his home he was genial, hospitable to a fault, sympathetic, tender, beloved by all because loving all with devoted attention. In these domestic virtues as in many others he was only excelled by his now stricken widow – a woman of rare executive ability and to whom, as he frequently acknowledged, he owed more of his success than to any other person living.
His affections were so wide and strong that they always had room for the children. And his name will be a household word in many homes in and about Granville for generations to come.
To know the man familiarly was but to have one’s admiration for him increased and strengthened – which signifies not a little in this day when frequently familiarity with prominent men breeds contempt of their methods and motives.
Mr. Innes was remarkable for benevolence. He was not only full of good deeds but he sought opportunity to bestow them. It was his want to volunteer gifts. Where and when they were not asked for he often offered them. Monuments of his benefactions are in all the churches in this vicinity and in how many families of the poor no one knows but his God.
In faith he was a Congregationalist having early connected himself with that denomination in Scotland. To the end he was steadfast in his Christian belief. His differences with other forms of Christian faith did not result from personal preferences, but rather from strong conscientious convictions. To these religious convictions which purified and enlarged his native tact and manliness, may be attributed his praiseworthy character and reputation.
Among some of the ancients it was the custom to burn fragrant perfumes
at the burial or burning of great men. But how soon these aromatic vapors
vanished – lost forever!
We offer today, the tribute of our hearts in the mention of virtues
and deeds, which shall not fade with the flight of time, but which shall
be ever strengthening in the memory of those who love him, and in the lives
of those who will be wise and imitate his excellencies and his faith in
nor Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

A NEW TELEPHONE DISCOVERY
The expense of telephone service greatly decreased.
Some remarkable tests without the use of batteries
The U. S. Telephone Co., at Madison, Ind. has devised an improvement
in the construction of telephones which bids fair to revolutionize the
cost of telephonic service and at the same time an almost perfect system.
The clearness and distinctiveness that results in the use of these telephones
is wonderful. The telephones were tried on a line twenty miles long and
a reporter carried on a conversation which was far more distinct than for
a few blocks with the ordinary telephones. There was none of the infernal
humming that is almost always heard in other telephones. Not a sound marred
the clearness of the conversation. The cost of batteries is enormous which
would be saved by the use of these telephones. The telephones are made
to work on the club system with trunk lines and require no Exchanges. As
the Company sells the telephones outright, consequently there is no exorbitant
rents to pay.
By sending your address and a postage stamp to the U. S. Telephone
Co., at Madison, Ind., you will receive an illustrated circular, giving
description of telephones with prices, &c. The Company have been in
operation for years, and are composed of reliable business men. -- Exchange
