  Notes	At age 23 William stood 5 feet 10 inches, and was described as having a black complexion, black eyes and black hair. According to his service records, he was born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania and worked as a storekeeper at the time of his enlistment in Norristown. He enlisted for a one year term. The following sketch of William Adore appeared in The State Journal, January 24, 1885: "One of the most prominent business men among the colored people of this city is Mr. Wm. Adore. Born in Lancaster County in 1835, he is now 49 years of age. Mr. Adore served in the army and won distinction for his bravery and is a member of Post _______ G. A. R., of York. Upon his return from the war, he opened a restaurant in the building now occupied by Pat Russ, near the P. R. R. depot. After carrying on business there for some time, he moved into Market street where he conducted the same business. He accumulated considerable valuable property, but during the financial crisis of 1873 lost nearly all of his personal wealth. Nothing daunted by his failure, he again resumed business in Canal street, opening a large hotel which he occupied until 1880 when he sold out his interest. In a short time, he again opened business under the United States Hotel where he has at present a most excellent restaurant and is doing a thriving business. Mr. Adore is a man possessing admirable business qualifications and sets an example of energy and thrift for his people that is well worth following. He is an active member of the Elder Street Presbyterian church and finds sufficient time from the press of his business to give that attention to his church duties required of all men interested in the moral guidance of humanity."
