Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Adams was born in Riga, New York, on 6 June 1843, the son of Asa and Eliza Mary (Merrill) Adams. He graduated from the Chicago Theological Seminary in 1868 and began his career in New York City, where he was enumerated in 1870. That same year he married Mary Eliza Baker. He was ordained a priest in the Episcopal Church in 1873, but paradoxically, he was listed on the 1880 census of Lake View, Illinois, as a minister of the Reformed Evangelical Church. He was an assistant at Christ Church, Chicago, in 1875. He served as rector of St. John's Elkhart, from 1887 to 1891, during which time he led the effort to build a rectory. He also took charge of the mission at Bristol in 1889. In 1892 he was called to be rector of St. Paul's in Pomona, California. He died in Los Angeles on 17 November 1912 and is buried in Angelus Rosedale Cemetery.
