Notes for David Adams:
On a Saturday, June 8, 2002, while visiting the Adams family, I drove to East Liverpool to look up Louisa and David Adams. I knew the cemetery where they were buried because I had Louisa's death certificate. David and Louisa are buried in Riverview Cemetery with no markers. Helen Stenger lives on the grounds and if it wasn't for her I would never have been able to find them. Louisa's death certificate says she died while living at 720 St. Clair Ave.
I also knew that David was a potter and so was his father, William in East Liverpool, OH. I have an 1896 city directory for East Liverpool, OH. It lists Charles Adams, potter, h 313 Bradshaw Ave; David Adams, potter, h 325 Lincoln Ave. and William Adams, potter, h 370 Lincoln Ave. I learned the the high school calls themselves "The Potters". A real feel for the town was achieved and how David and Louisa Adams; David Thomas Adams, Tessie Pruitt Adams, Albert (their first child) and my mother might have lived because the town has not changed in 150 years. My mother's family moved from East Liverpool, OH to Greenwood, IN in 1907 but maybe to Franklin or Houston before then.
I talked to some townsfolk about the history of pottery making in this town on the Ohio River. Their grandfathers were also potters. I learned the potters made no money. But the owners of the potting factories lived in their mansions high on the hill away from the factories on the river while the potters lived in small homes in town. They worked long hours with no benefits. It was hard work. I visited the Ceramics Museum and got an education about how the town was founded by a few English potters in 1799. Most of their workers were of English descent. All the manufacturing companies were situated on the banks of the Ohio River where there was fine clay.
