OriginalNotes: Beckwith, History of Vigo & Parke counties, 1880, p. 220: Prominent among the photographers of Terre Haute, we may mention Mr. J.M. ADAMS as the representative artist. He is located over Nos. 417 and 419 Main street, and is occupying a total space of 40x80 feet, divided into different apartments and fitted up with everything pertaining to the art of photography in the way of the latest machinery, coloring compounds, paints, etc. The walls are hung with samples of his work, a view of which ought to dispel any doubts in the mind of the beholder as to the artistic finish of the work or the ability of the artist. Mr. ADAMS has now had about twelve years' experience in his line of business, eight of which he has spent in Terre Haute. He has been a resident of Vigo county since 1849, as at this date he came with his people, he being at the time but a boy. In 1864 he entered the Union army, enlisting in company G, 149th Ind. Vol. Inf., under Capt. MEROHINNEY and Col. FAIRBANKS. This was a one-year enlisted regiment, and they were stationed at Huntsville, Alabama, most of the time, being at that place at the close of the war in 1865. In 1871, when he began business in Terre Haute, he had but little money and poor prospects for the future, but being possessed of energy and a natural talent for the business, he has gradually made his business second to none in the city.

Photographers' Bureau of Information, Mar. 1884:
Wanted- 1st class operator & retoucher who can use dry-plates successfully. Good wages. J. M. Adams, Terre Haute.

1887-88 Indiana State Gazetteer, p. 1332

St. Louis and Canadian Photographer, Feb. 1899, p. 58:
"Notes by the Wayside" by Frank M. Pickerill, in Elgin, IL "I met my old friend J. M. Adams and his son, S. M. Although the mercury stood at zero on the outside their gallery was crowded with customers.  Mr. J. M. Adams is one of the pioneer photographers and his good work and polite manners have always secured him a fine paying business.  His son, S. M., is a chip of the old block, and is the operator, and following in the footprints of his illustrious father. [possibly the same J. M. Adams from Terre Haute; Pickerill sold to him in Terre Haute in the 1870s and would have probably considered him to be an old friend---According to Czach Illinois Photographers, John Manley Adams was in Elgin 1861-1879, son S. M. became partner in 1884, so this is probably not the John M. Adams of Terre Haute.]
