G.O. Adams of the Everett House

The New Jersey Courier newspaper, on July 22nd 1875, reported on hotel owner G. O. Adams: "The Everett House, G.O.Adams, proprietor, is nearly full....".

When I have time I shall endeavor to find this man on the Tuckerton census and provide more info on him and his family.
