Return To America and Death
Although Adams preached briefly in Liverpool and tried to raise followers for a second attempt at settling Palestine, he had returned to America by 1870. He preached in Philadelphia and in 1873 opened a "Church of the Messiah" building for Sunday sermons. When confronted by his past exploits by former followers or others, Adams would deny his identity and past. He died in Philadelphia of "typhoid pneumonia". His only child, Clarence A. Adams, was a Baptist clergyman in Pennsylvania until his death in the 1920s.
