Brock Adams will celebrate his 99th birthday this month. A farmer and textile worker for most of his life, Adams has arguably had a positive impact on more lives than any living resident of the Slater-Marietta community.
His County Council member, state Representative and Senator read proclamations enumerating his many accomplishments and contributions to his community, proclaiming a day in his honor.
His current pastor commended him for not being a “church hopper” and moving from church to church because of disagreements. Being disagreeable is not a part of Brock Adams. He has been a member of the same church most of his life and at age 99 continues to serve as a deacon.
