Adrian Remembered Growth and People of a River Town
Adrian long ago thrived with a lumbering economy and busy trades. Residents recall Ganty Foster Gear and Vetter among early settlers as churches schools and unions formed. The town later shifted schooling to Carey and now hosts a small general store post office and grain elevator with local clubs and a modest population.
