Adam Clarke Higgins died March 25th at the home of his
nephew, Lloyd Higgins, in Chicago, of congestion of
the stomach after only a short illness. Brief funeral services according to the G.A.R ritual, were held in
the city Thursday, and the remains were brought to
Rushville Friday for burial
Funeral services were held at the home of Hiram Graff
conducted by Rev. J. B. Horney. Col. Horney, Post G.A.R., then took charge of the remains, and buried
their comrade according to the rites of the order. A large delegation of veterans were in attendance. At
the time of his death, Mr. Higgins was a practicing
lawyer in Chicago. He stood high in his profession and
attained success in the practice thereof. As an orator
he was widely known throughout the state and was
called upon quite frequently to visit some city to deliver an oration on matters pertaining to the higher
order of American citizenship and the nobler qualities
of patriotism.
Mr Higgins was born September 14 1834 in Middlebourne, Tyler Co., West Virginia. He entered the ministry of
the Methodist Church at 18 years of age. In 1855 he
joined the Central Illinois conference. At the breaking out of the rebellion he raised a number of
companies in Knox county. Not being a tactician or
disciplinarian, he resigned a captaincy and went with the Eighty-third Illinois Volunteers as chaplain. For
two years he was post chaplain at Clarksville, Tenn. At the close of the war he was mustered out with the
rank of major of cavalry. After the war he re-entered
the ministry and held charges in Illinois, Wisconsin, New York City and New Jersey. In 1865 he was married
to Lydia F. Ramsey of Rushville, Illinois. He
practiced law in Chicago fifteen years, but had made all preparations to move to Lincoln, Illinois, in June
to enter a law partnership with his son, Charles A.
Higgins. Mr. Higgins was a past commander of Winfield Scott Post, G.A.R. He was a member of the Improved
Order of Red Men, and of the Union Veteran
Association.
Mrs. A. C. Higgins and son, Arthur, of Lincoln, Illinois, and Dr. Charles Higgins of Chicago,
accompanied the remains of Adam Clarke Higgins from
Chicago last week, and while in Rushville were guests
of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Graff.
