Adams, Theophilus B

Adams, Theophilus B., a Baptist minister, was born in New Hampshire in 1798. He entered the ministry, as did most of the Baptist ministers of his time, with but little preparation for the work except a heart warmly interested in the spiritual welfare of his fellow-men. His own experience taught him the value of an education, and he encouraged sound learning for the ministers of the Gospel. He was twelve years in the work, eight of which were spent in Acworth, N.H., where he died, Aug. 15,1831. See Christian Watchman, Sept. 9, 1831. (J.C.S.)
