HENRY COBB ADAMS, Public Official. Arriving at Honolulu in July, 1883, as 
chief officer of the British steamer “Hankow” of London, Henry C. Adams 
decided to make the islands his future home, returned here as purser of 
the “City of Paris” in July, 1884, and remained, a step that led to long 
service in public office.
  Born in Brixton, Surrey, England, July 17, 1859, he is the son of Frederick 
Emilius Adams of the Honorable East India Company, and Georgiana Augusta Cobb, 
youngest daughter of the late Capt. Smith Cobb of the Royal Navy. His 
education was obtained at Royal St. Anne’s School, Streatham, Surrey, and in 
1873 he entered the British merchant marine.
  He has served as deputy tax assessor since 1896; notary public since 1907; 
registrar of births, deaths and marriages since 1909, and as second district 
magistrate for Koolaupoku since 1911. Mr. Adams always has been a Republican 
in politics, although he has leaned toward the independent wing of that party.
  He married Rebecca Kealoha Kalekeiki in May, 1897. They have nine children, 
Gertrude, Adeline, Henry, John, Smith, Beatrice, Coates, Margaret and Grebell 
Cobb Adams.
