The Georgia Enterprise, April 3, 1890
In Memoriam
     Mrs. Alice C. Richardson, the beloved wife of Col. W. U. Richardson, 
passed gently from earth, in their home at Sparta, Bienville Parish, La, March 
10th, 1890. She died suddenly, her physicians think of heart trouble. She was 
at supper with the family as usual, but alas, in a little while the happy 
family circle is broken, the loving and devoted wife and mother is dead. She 
was the daughter of Dr. R. M. and Frances C. Tarver and granddaughter of the 
late Isaac P. and Ruth Henderson, of Covington, Ga. She was born in Jackson 
Parish, La., Feb. 6th, 1853, and married Oct. 17th, 1878, to Col. W. U. 
Richardson. Four sons and one daughter blessed their union, of which the 
daughter and two youngest sons survive, the youngest, a baby boy, born Jan. 
26th, 1890. She was one of the best women I ever knew. Faithful to all the 
obligations of this life, and beloved by all who knew her, she leaves behind 
her an example worthy of imitation. At the early age of fifteen, by the death 
of her mother, the responsibility of the household and the care and training of 
a younger brother and sister devolved upon her, and she bravely assumed the 
responsibility and faithfully performed her duties. But our Heavenly Father, 
whose thoughts and ways are infinitely  above ours, has seen proper to take her 
dear spirit to himself, in a world, as I cannot but believe, of everlasting 
light and love and rest. May the Lord bless the motherless children and give 
the grief-stricken husband, in this the severest trial of his life, his 
indispensable  grace to enable him to kiss the rod that smites him, and to bear 
with meekness and resignation the dreadful blow.
S. H. STARR, JR., Starrsville, Ga. March 24th ‘90
