Obituary HOWARD COURANT CITIZEN - Thursday, Jan. 17, 1929 
Richard Lee, son of Richard and Sally Lynam was born in Bath County, KY, 
Aug 26, 1836 and departed this life, January 14th 1929 at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. J. W. Gault in Howard, Kansas. He grew to manhood in 
Kentucky, and on July 17, 1854 was united in marriage with Mary Jane 
Anderson. To this union were born nine children six of whom with his 
wife preceded him to the better world. Those left to mourn his departure 
are Mrs. J. W. Gault of Howard, William A. of Columbus, Ohio and John of 
Moline, Kansas, besides his grand children and great grandchilren and a 
host of relative and friends. In 1878 he came with his family to Kansas, 
locating near Valley Center where he resided for four years. In 1882 he 
removed his family to Mercer County, Missouri, residing there a few years, 
returning to Kansas about 30 years ago, since which time he has resided in 
Elk County. Since his wife's death 13 years ago he has made his home with 
his son at Moline and his daughter at Howard. At the age of 20 years he 
was converted and joined the Methodist church of which he was a faithful 
member. In his younger days he had an active part in all church work, 
acting as class leader and superintendent of Sunday School. In his last 
years he has suffered much but bore his affliction with patience until 
Jesus called him home. He was a loving husband and father, an honest 
friend and loved by all who knew him. Burial services were held at the 
M.E. Church in Howard and interment in Moline cemetery. The pall bearers 
were his grandson and great grandsons.
