• Jane Darby (tryondailybulletin.com) — Adamstown neighbors are mourning the recent passing of 83-year-old resident Jane Darby, who moved here earlier this year to be closer to family. Her obituary traces a life of travel, music, volunteering, and deep love for animals and libraries, and her family asks that those wishing to honor her do a kind deed or support an animal charity or local library.
