WINS BRONZE STAR: Courage and coolness displayed by Pfc. Alexander Adam, of 12 Portland Street, Feeding Hills, during action in France last September have won for him the Bronze Star. The accompanying citation indicates that Pfc. Adam remained at his radio, thus keeping his battalion commander informed at an important time and refused to seek cover in order that he might use his machine gun against the approaching enemy. Pfc. Adam, with the third army, is still overseas awaiting discharge because of service points. He has been in the Army since July, 1941, and was formerly employed Blair Manufacturing Company. He is the son of Edward Adam of the Feeding Hills address.

He worked for over 33 years as a beater engineer for the Southworth Paper Co. before his retirement. He was also an avid Bruins and Red Sox fan and enjoyed gardening, fishing, and feeding and watching birds. Alexander was the beloved husband of the late Lucille (Willard) Adam, who predeceased him in 2006; a loving father to Linda Patterson and her husband Brian, Cynthia Panico and her husband Edward, Gary Adam and his wife Carolyn, and Wayne Adam and his wife Susan, all of Ludlow, Dean Adam and his wife Teresa of Belchertown and Carol-Ann Magersupp, of Maryland; a dear brother to the late Freida, Ann and Eva; a cherished grandfather to Lisa and her husband Steve Sambor, Christine, Heather, Carrie, Gennelle, Randy, Michael, Brian, and the late Carolyn and great-grandfather to Nicholas, Karley, and Reagan, Sophia, Louis and Ryann, of Florida, and the late Ryder.
