The Ouachita Telegraph
Friday, April 2, 1875, page 2, column 1

Dr. J.C. Richardson, of Union parish, met a sad death a few days ago.  
In company with Dr. Hines, he was riding along the road, the two going 
to see a patient.  Dr. Hines observed the top of a large tree falling, 
and cried to Dr. Richardson to look out, who at once spurred his horse 
forward.  He, however, was too late to clear the reach of the limbs, and 
one striking him on the head felled him to the ground, death ensuing in 
three hours afterward.  Dr. Richardson was well known and beloved in this 
vicinity, and his funeral was the occasion for general expressions of regret 
by all in his neighborhood.  He was the brother of Dr's. T.P. & W.H. 
Richardson, of this parish.  A devoted wife and five children are bereaved 
by his death.
