Ottis Adams died. After a long life of painting, his legacy was honored at the Herron School of Art in Indianapolis with a memorial exhibition later that year. One of the over 140 paintings shown was <em>A Bit of the Whitewater<\/em>. Artists from all over the country gathered together to mourn the loss of an amazing artist. William Forsyth wrote a touching introduction to the show\u2019s pamphlet: \u201cThe exhibition catalogued here is composed of his works, done in silence and in love, and is thus a glimpse of the soul of the artist and a part of the beauty he was forever seeking. He is gone and his quest is done.\u201d Edward Adams, J. Ottis Adam\u2019s son, would later donate the painting to Wabash College, where J. Ottis Adams had previously attended.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_271\" style=\"width: 594px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/elstoncollection\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2016\/05\/Adams-Poem.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-271\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-271\" class=\"size-large wp-image-271\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/elstoncollection\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2016\/05\/Adams-Poem-1024x830.jpg\" alt=\"Memorial Announcement for J.
