IN MEMORY OF AMOS F. RICHARDSON; A Dear Brother

On April 7, 1937 the death angel came down from the Land of Rest and 
Paradise and took a dear loving brother from our midst, Amos F. Richardson. 
He was 37 years, four months and 20 days old. He was born in Cleburne 
county; reared in Carroll, just over the line in Georgia and was in Cleburne 
until he was 21. He went to south Georgia, Tift County where he married Miss 
Ima Willamson. They lived there 10 years and moved back to Carrollton eight 
years ago and he was employed by Folds Motor Company as a mechanic, until 
about two years ago when he put up a shop of his own, The City Garage, where 
he was at work the day he met a tragic death, succumbing to knife wounds.

Oh, it was hard to give him up. He leaves a dear old mother and father to 
mourn his untimely death; also three sisters, Evie Farlow of Hopewell; Amie 
Gibbs of Ranburne and Hattie Brock of Bowdon; three brothers, Herbert and 
Teddie of Bowdon and Albert of Atlanta; also his loving wife and four 
children, Amos Jr., Ruth, James and Henry; a daughter, Wynell departed this 
life nearly three years ago and is now basking in the sunshine with father 
who has gone to join her and the Angels.

He was so kind to his children, so loving to his wife and so friendly to 
everyone he met and to know him was to love him. He had the most friends I 
ever saw and the floral offerings at the burial of brother Amos were most 
liberal, and we thank the good people of Carrollton for their kindness in 
the sad hours of our bereavement. May God bless all of you, is our prayer.

Funeral services were held from the First Baptist church in Carrollton, 
conducted by the Rev. W.P. Bell of Carrollton. Burial was in City Cemetery, 
directed by Kytle and Aycock.

We always met at Papa's the fourth Sunday in March, on the fourth of July 
and the first Sunday in November. But there will be one missing July fourth. 
We do not know who will be next, so let's live so as to meet our dear 
brother. 

Written by a sister, Evie Farlow.
