The death certificate, signed by Dr T P S McDonald, gives an exact birth date 23.11.1897 and a second cause of death (renal cortical necrosis).^[2]

His will, made on 8 May 1962, names his three "surviving children", suggesting that there were others who died without issue. One of them may be Richard Eliza Adams, born in 1921, mentioned on the profile of J.J. Adams's father but it is unlikely, since that Richard was still alive in 1958, and J.J. has another son Richard. Each child is given a first option to buy specified fixed property .^[2]

The remaining papers report that the Willow Glen property was sold to a third party, that the residence was transferred to the widow and children as joint owners, subject to the widow's usufruct, and that the Kleinmond plots were sold to the second daughter, whose husband's full name is given as Leonster Russell WILLSON. Birth dates for widow and children can be found there too. ^[2]
