Davies Date: 20 June 2004 Source: Winnfield News-American November 26, 1937 Human Skeleton Found Wednesday By Hog Hunter A skeleton, thought to be the remains of the body of Dallas Richardson, negro, who left his home in the Mosley quarters here more than a year ago, was found in the woods near the old Amesite plant Wednesday morning, according to Dr. J. F. Faith, coroner. Henry Franks, who was hunting hogs in that section and reported his find to Sheriff Sholars, who started an investigation, assisted by Dr. Faith. The framework, considerably weatherbeaten, was intact with the exception of the small bones of the hands and feet, which had decayed. In addition to a pair of shoes and a portion of a leather belt, other identifying articles nearby were the sings of an old straw hat and suspender buckles. After examining the articles, Ruth Brown, sister of the missing negro, identified the articles as belonging to her brother who disappeared a year ago last August. The negro, who had become the jest of a number of negro youths in the quarters where he lived, often showed signs of unusual fear of being taken into custody of officers, because of the tales the boys told him. As a result he frequently appealed to "white folks" for protection. It is thought that he wandered away while under such a delusion. ===== Submitter: Hazel LeBlanc Date: 22 July 2006 Source: The Advocate, Baton Rouge, LA The Advocate, Baton Rouge, LA Publication Date: May 14, 2006 James Earl Richardson He was a retired school administrator and Baptist church minister of education.
