Notes:

From the Iowa City Citizen, November 24, 1909 :
Adam Gill was born in Homburg, Germany, in 1828, and came to America in 1854, landing in New York City, where he remained until 1855. While there he met Jacob Hötz Sr., the father of our present alderman. Mr. Gill and several others were considering locating in the west and Mr. Hötz informed them that he was going west. They therefore concluded to wait until they could have a report from him as to the prospect. After reaching Iowa he wrote to them to come, and in 1855 Mr. Gill came to Iowa City and has since resided here. He was married in 1857, and has three sons and two daughters, his wife having died thirtheen years ago. Mr. Gill was a tailor by trade and for many years followed that occupation. In 1866 he opened a restaurant and conducted it until 1884. He is one of the most active members of the German Aid society, taking a keen interest in its affairs. He has held offices in the organization at various times and always very efficiently. He was elected president a number of times during the period of his fifty years of membership.
