Owing to failing health he retired from his ministerial work about two years ago and bought a ranch near this city, where he resided up to the time of his death.  He left a  wife, five sons and two daughter, all of whom resided at the family home.  Mr. Adkins' high character and kind disposition won for him the friendship of all his acquaintances.

   Frank C. Adkins was born in Kirksville, Mo., in the year 1857, and crossed the plains with his parents in 1865 to Lane county, this state, and in 1868, accompanied them to Rhea Creek, Morrow County.
