NOTE: This obituary column, cut from newspapers of the time period, was
found pasted in an ancient dust-covered book at a yard sale I attended in
Louisville KY. I'm posting them verbatim in the hopes they will benefit
others. I have no further information and have no connection to any of
these names. I have no additional information on dates, or about which
newspapers the original columns were in or the year of publication.

Henry E. RICHARDS was born Feb. 10, 1871, in Richardsville, Ky. After a
sickness of twenty-five days he died Sept. 18, 1902. In the evening at the
close of the day, from his cottage home in Gueydan, his soul took its flight
home to God. He came to us, in the strength of young Christian manhood,
from Richardsville circuit, of the Louisville Conference. Sanctified by
our Father, he was in ideal father. He leaves a faithful, Christian wife
and a baby girl, together with friends and loved ones to mourn his death. 

We loved him; those who knew him could not help but feel his loss. His walk 
among us resulted in a spiritual benediction to our souls. His sickness wasted his
body but the approach of death invigorated his soul; and while speaking of
his Masters will he died a triumphant death. To you who mourn his loss: 
He who wept with those that weep will bind your wounded heart. Henceforth,
in commending you to God, this shall ever remain my inspiration: to know that he is there. 
A. A. BERNARD, P.C.
