Madisonian, Madison, GA, sometime after November 1, 1907.

Comrad John C. RICHTER

Comrad John C. RICHTER was born in Madison, GA on Jan 14, 1849 (really
1848). He was a mere lad when he went into the army as a private in Company
A, Capers' Battalion, Georgia Cadets. As his name implies, he was of German
extraction. And he inherited in a marked degree that dogged and persistent
determination so characteristic of the Teutonic race. Making up his mind to
attain a certain end, he kept the object always in view, and pursued it with
an unwavering faith in his final success. Fixed in purpose, bull dog
tenacity, and unrelenting zeal spelled his aim in life. And he succeeded.
He could not have done it otherwise. He was a merchant, he was a farmer, and
he was a horticulturalist, and he succeeded in all of them. On March 2d,
1908 (really November 1, 1907), a few short months after the death of his
oldest brother, Charlie, he was summoned hence and his ashes are now mixed
with the mother earth that bore him.
