History
Ernest Dupin Adams, 1868-1960, was born in Aseeghur, Pakistan and was raised in England. He came to Canada in 1884, and worked for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC). Eventually he settled in Alberta where he was a rancher near Millarville for a time. Throughout his life he was heavily involved in thoroughbred horse breeding and racing and was briefly involved in real estate and insurance in Calgary. He was married to Carrie Kemp McCarthy, 1874-1965, who was born in St. Catharines, Ontario and educated at Loretto Abbey and Ontario Ladies College before settling with her family in Calgary in 1887. The Adams had four children, Charles William "Bill", 1904-, Peter, Margaret (Dunlop) and Evelyn (Crosbie).
