Early life and family
Sarah Fuller Flower was born at High Street, Old Harlow, Essex, the younger daughter of Benjamin Flower, editor[1] and the sister of composer Eliza Flower.[2] She was baptised at the Water Lane Independent Chapel in Bishops Stortford.[3]
Career
Her longest work is Vivia Perpetua, A Dramatic Poem (1841), having as its subject the life of the early Christians.
Adams was a Unitarian and wrote several hymns in her lifetime, among which are "Nearer, my God, to Thee" and "He sendeth sun, He sendeth shower". "Nearer, my God, to Thee" is of particular historical significance as it is reputed to have been the final piece played by eight musicians on the RMS Titanic as it sank on 14 April 1912.
Personal life
In 1834 Sarah married William Bridges Adams, polemicist and railway engineer. They lived at Loughton, Essex, where there is a blue plaque to the couple.
Death
Adams died from tuberculosis at the age of 43 and was buried at Harlow on 21 August 1848.[1]
