FROM 1A
Adam
was the primary aggressor,” Dawson
County Sheriff Jeff Johnson wrote in an
email Nov. 30. He did not respond to
requests for updates Dec. 1.
The scheduled divorce hearing was
related to an accusation that James Adam
“may have misappropriated funds from
his clients,” according to a motion filed
by Jenny Adam and her attorney, J. Alexis
Putt. Text messages provided in court
documents show heated exchanges over
their assets and include reference to sui
cidal thoughts.
Jenny Adam, a 50-year-old former
nurse living in Dawson County, and
James Adam, a 62-year-old attorney in
Gainesville, had married on Valentine’s
Day 2014, according to court records.
They had separated earlier this year, and
Putt said Jenny Adam was living at the
Sams Road residence.
Jenny Adam initiated divorce proceed
ings in April. James Adam wrote in his
counterclaim for divorce that the couple
had been separated since March.
In a motion filed Nov. 2, Putt also
wrote Jenny Adam had reason to believe
James Adam may be “using his status and
undisclosed accounts to shield marital
assets.”
Putt attached an exchange of text mes
sages in a subsequent court filing that she
described as “his willingness to engage in
a campaign to harass and intimidate
(Jenny Adam) including actions that
would put his bar license at risk and send
him to prison.”
The motion also claimed that James
Adam showed he would destroy the cou
ple financially “in order to prevent an
equitable distribution of the assets.”
James Adam wrote a message to Jenny
Adam saying he was “prepared to surren
der my license” before he would ever
consider paying what he called Jenny’s
passed away Monday, November 29,2021,
at his residence following a period of
declining health. Born June 22, 1932,
Herman was a lifelong resident of
Lumpkin and Dawson County. He worked
as a heavy equipment mechanic through
out his life and retired from the Dawson
County Road Department after many years
of service. Herman enjoyed many hobbies,
but his favorite was making moonshine,
which he was well known for. Herman was
a very devoted husband, father, grandfa
ther, and uncle. He was of Baptist faith and
his family was the most important part of
his life. The last of ten siblings, Herman
was also preceded in death by his parents,
Hubert and Daisy Rider and a grandson,
Dwayne Rider. Surviving are his wife, Era
Chester Rider, Dawsonville; son and
daughter in law, Clark and Lisa W. Rider,
Dawsonville; daughter and son in law, Pam

Michael James Moore
Michael James Moore, 33, recently of
Valdosta, and a native of Dahlonega,
passed away early Friday morning,
November 26, 2021. Michael was born
December 1, 1987 and grew up in
Dahlonega. He attended
Lumpkin County High
School where he played
golf and basketball. He
graduated from North
Georgia College and
State University with a
degree in finance and was
a member of Sigma Nu
Fraternity. Michael married the love of his
life and his best friend, Christie, in a joyful
and love filled ceremony on June 9, 2018,
in Athens. Together they shared a love of
history, travel, politics, football, learning,
the beach, and traveling the state to visit
friends and family far and wide, especially
through Leadership Georgia. Michael was
formerly a financial analyst with
Dieffenbacher in Alpharetta and had
recently joined the staff at Valdosta State
University. Those who were loved by
Michael and those who loved him knew
him to have a fun, peaceful, curious, and
gentle spirit and a smile that would light up
any room. Never one to claim the spot
light, he had a servant’s heart and was
happy to care for those he loved and sup
port them in any way he could. Michael is
“extorted demand,” according to the
motion’s exhibits.
“What f-ing reason would I have to
give in to your demand?” James Adam
wrote later on in the same message. “I’d
rather spend the rest of my life in prison.
What I meant last night was that I had
seriously contemplated suicide. But your
insane demand made me realize that you
would get what you wanted — every
thing. So I’ve decided to stay and fight. I
have a reason to live now so thank you.”
James Adam’s attorney, G. Hammond
Law HI, did not return multiple calls for
comment Wednesday, Dec. 1.
In an obituary, Jenny Adam was
described as a registered nurse for more
than 25 years who loved “the lake, music
and dancing.”
Matt Paff, a friend of Jenny Adam,
described her as a “vivacious, beautiful”
woman who lit up the lives of those she
encountered.
Paff noted Jenny, who had retired from
nursing and moved into flipping houses,
had a love of antiques.
“She loved taking something that
somebody had put on the end of the
driveway to throw away and she loved
recognizing the beauty in old, trashy
things and then renovating it,” Paff said.
“And she did a great job. When she
flipped a house, it was amazing.”
Gainesville attorney Graham
McKinnon said he had known James
Adam for more than 30 years and they
used to play tennis together.
“He’d tease me and I’d tease him about
stuff that happened in the courtroom,”
McKinnon said.
McKinnon described James Adam as a
motorcycle enthusiast.
Jody Powell, who also knew James
Adam for more than 30 years and also
played tennis with him, said the news
came as a “shock” to him.
“I just never would have imagined he
would do something like that,” Powell
said.
