Phil, it shouldn't be hard to find info on this Mr Adams. Even without a first name you may be able to come up with something. US Census records, Osterville Historical Society...
Osterville is a very small community on the south side of Barnstable on the edge of Nantucket Sound. Population in 2010 was fewer than 4,000 people. Mr. Adams may have been the only adult male with that name in 1917.
I'm sure he was a waterfowl man - Osterville is a town of marshland and estuarine areas
Hmmm... maybe a side trip while you're in Boston? It's only 70 miles from Boston to Osterville.... 1 hour, 17 minutes.
