1895, Oct. 24. Born in Boulder, Colorado.

Word came from Boulder, Colorado a few days ago that twin boys had arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Guy Adams. Grandpa Strawn smiled a smile that finaly resolved itself into a broad grin when he heard the news and has been in extra good humor ever since. The whole relationship and friends here rejoice with the fond parents. The only thing to occur, so far, to in any way mar the happiness of the occasion, was a telegram sent by G.K. Smith and A. B. Hall saying "name them George and Lon and they shall wear diamonds." Mr. and Mrs. Adams would, no doubt, treat this as a joke, as it was perhaps intended, and look for names among the honored men of the past. We extend congratulations. Lincon Republican.

Boulder Herald. There are twin boys at the home of Guy Adams and wife. They came last evening at six o'clock. Of course, the parents are happy.

Boulder Record. There was quite an episode, or as Artemus Ward said on a like occasion, two episodes, at the home of Guy Adams a few days since. The episodes are fine twin boys and the parents are properly proud of them .

  1. Mr. and Mrs. Guy A. Adams delighted over a gift to them of a baby carriage for their twins, Kirk and Wolff. The donors were Mr. and Mrs. Harry Casaday.

1910 - May 27, graduated from 8th grade at Central school.

1910 - Nov 21 Adams Boys Win The Mayor's Prize. The prize of $25, which was offered early in the year by Mayor A.A. Greenman to the young people who should make the greatest success in cultivating vacant lots in the city has been awarded to Wilbur and Victor Adams, the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Guy Adams. Yesterday Mr. Greenman forwarded to the boys a check for the amount of the prize accompanied by the following letter: Messrs. Wilbur and Victor Adams, Boulder, Colo. My Dear Sirs-After advertising to find who took part in the "Garden Contest" for the twenty-five dollar prize offered by me last spring, I found no response except from you, so I take it that you are entitled to the prize for your efforts in garden-making this past summer and I take pleasure in sending you my check for the prize offered, twenty-five dollars. I trust that the experience was a pleasant one to you and that you will find it worth while in the future to grow a garden each summer although no prize is to be gained by so doing. The satisfaction of helping to make thiings grow, of assisting to make the city present a better appearance in summer time, and to have some work that you can lay claim to and call you own is worth immeaurably more than the prize you gained for your work. Yours very truly, Alfred A. Greenman.

Boulder's Flower show Was a Great Success: The Noah's Ark store at 1429 Pearl street was transformed into a vertible flower garden this morning on the occasion of the annual Sweet Pea show. Over 200 bouquets of as pretty sweet peas as have ever been on exhibition in this city delighted Manager J.D. Long and his many patrons and added to the confusion of Mrs. C. J. Watrous, Mrs. Grant McFerson and Miss Anna Queal, who acted in the capacity of judges. "Sweet Peas" usually the most abundant of garden flowers, are a novelty this year owing to the continued dry season and the heavy winds. Those on display this morning speak volumes for the care that they received from the hands of the exhibitors. The prize winners as announced by Manager Long this afternoon, are as follows: Class 6, salmon-Victor Adams, first; Class 9, lavender-Victor Adams, first; Class 11, dark blue-Wilbur Adams, first.

Twin notes - Twins Cause Trouble Vic and Will Get Mixed Pretty Girl Is Victim: We have all read stories and seen movies on the theme of mistaken identity, but never before has the misfortune of having a carnal duplicate been so vividly presented as recently. There are two popular freshman twins in school, whom their friends distinguish as Will and Vic-when they can distinguish them. Last week Vic - or was it Will?-became dated for Friday evening with a fair Freshwoman whom he had met but once. He took her to a basketball game in which both he and his brother participated. Now Vic is notoriously slow in dressing, so when his tie had been finally adjusted to his satisfaction, and he made for the seat of his fair one, he was dismayed to find her vanished, and the balcony bare. Much distraught, he searched madly, but in vain. Then vague suspicions of the truth began to dawn upon him. He had noticed unseemly haste in Will's dressing. Vic went to bed in high dudgeon. Next day the poor girl, who was still unaware of her mistake, was much worried by Vic'c coolness. This gave the fiendish Will another inspiration. He called her up, and in his brother's voice, denounced her for her perfidy in eloping with himself. Now, however, Will is suffering deep remorse for his villainy, because Vic declares he will not wear his hair the way Will wants to any more. Alas! Alas! Notes- Master Wilbur Adams, who has been taking vacation at the Place Sanitarium and incidentally nursing a fractured jaw, has returned home and will soon be around again. And the game of guessing "which one of the Adams twins?" will be resumed.

The Adams twins, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Guy A. Adams, who are playing great basketball with the Preps. Can you tell which from other? Their mother says the one on the left is Victor Kirk Adams and the other one is Wilbur Wolff-but their father isn't so certain. Two girls in town have a hard time trying to tell them apart and Victor is given to calling on Willum's best girl when the other isn' around. One Miss Smith, a public school teacher, sent Victor home for kissing a girl in school. Wilbur was the guilty wretch. Since then Victor has been stealing some kissing due Wilbur. Both are clean boys and there is as much honey in the lips of one as other. How old? O, Victor was born October 24, 1895, and Wilbur won't tell his age, though the Camera of that date records their simultaneous arrival.

1913 - The Boulder Prep football team, interscholastic champions of Colorado for, season of 1913, went through the season without once meeting defeat. In one game they were tied, this being the Wyoming game. Vicotr Adams, center, Wilbur Adams right tackle. In the last few minutes of play in one of the best interscholastic football games ever played in Colorado, the State Preps at Colorado Springs Saturday snatched victory from the jaws of what seemed certain defeat and by doing so won the title of high school champions of the Rocky Mountains. The story of the victory smacks of a yellow novel or a moving picture scenario being the most dramatic that has ever occurred on a football field in this state-The final score was 9 to 10. A drop kick by Lawrence, 5 minutes before the expiration of the game, scored the first three points for the Preps. About four minutes' later Victor Adams blocked a kick, falling on the ball over the goal line for a touchdown just as the whistle of the timekeeper blew announcing that "time was up." The touchdown, despite the fact that time was up, gave the Preps the right to try for a goal and Lawrence made good the opportunity of converting the tie of 9 to 9 into a victory for his team......

The Trios, the third year class of the State Preparatory school yesterday won the annual inter-class track meet held on Gamble field, scoring a total of 68 points, which was nine points more that the score of the three classes - Shotput, V. Adams, third.

1917, May - Three Gridiron Stars Lost to U. of C. Team. Vic Adams, Star Center, and Two Subs for the Same Posiition Sent to Officers' Training School. As if havoc wrought by the epidemic of Spanish influenze were not enough the war department today took a fling at football prospects at the University of Colorado and in one full swoop destroyed the foundation of a grid eleven which it had taken Coach Joe Mills several weeks to build. The act of the war department was not intentional, but when it wanted candidates for an officers' training school it picked three first string members of the football team among a squad of forty. The loss of the trio would not have been a serious blow under ordinary circumstances, but as it happened the men were the regular center and two linesmen who had been drilled for the express purpose of being able to step in and fill the center position in case the regular man or either of the subs was taken. Vic Adams, star of last years varsity eleven, Todd Freeman and Bill Livington are the players who were called to begin training for commissions in the United States army. Adams was one of the maystays of the team. On account of the military training which he received last year it was anticipated that he might be among the first to be called if the government needed any members of the local S.A.T.C. and it was with the fact in view that that Coach Mills had trained Freeman and Livington in the duties of the pivot position on the line..

In such case they may be called at any times. About thrity of the freshman and sophomore medics at the University are now enlisted in this service.

1918 - Jan Guy A. Adams a Lucky Man with Two Sons Like These. The following would be a nasty shot were not the motive understood and the shot, therefore, harmless. It appeared in the local columns of the News-Herald yesterday. "Guy Adams is perhaps the luckiest man in town. Father of two sons, perfect speciments of physical manhood-our country at war-both sons at home and in school. Isn't that fortune smiling on you?" Guy Adams is a lucky man because he has two splendid sons, two of the cleanest boys in Boulder, physically strong, mentally acute, spiritually o.k. Students at the University, valiant members of the football team, both subject to the draft, both await the call of their country. Twins alike in birth and purpose to make the most of life they will respond "Here" when the corporal calls. One of them has already asked to be enlisted and was told to go back to the University and graduate from the medical college because doctors are needed more than shooters. He will go if the draft selects him. He offered to go without it. The other has taken the Y.M.C.A. examination for service and expects to be at the front. Neither claims exemption., Neither has any other engagement than that to his country. Both will have the parental blessing when they go and the parents will feel that they are "luckiest" when the manly desire of their boys to serve shall be gratified. The picture shows them in their teens-they're twenty-one now and men ready to meet any call their country can put upon them. The Adams twins were born in Boulder and the city is proud of them.
