Richardson On Dec. 3, 1925 at the Riverside Sanatarium, Monroe La. The beloved wife of Mr. T.C. Richardson, passed away after a very short illness. Mrs. Richardson was born Jan. 27, 1858 at Newport, Winn Parish where she lived until she moved to Franklin Parish twenty-two years ago. At the age of thirteen years she joined the Baptist Church and lived a faithful Christian life. The funeral services were held in the Boeuff river Baptist Church by her former pastor, Rev. J.H. Keys, after which her body was laid to rest in the cemetery near the church. The old ladies near her age passed by the open casket and tenderlaid their hands on the clod crossed hands bidding her farewell. She leaves to mourn her death a husband, six children and many relatives and friends. Those children living are: Mrs. Idella Smith of Winsboro, Route 2; Mrs. C.M.. Slaughter of Monroe; G. E. Richardson, D.L. Richardson, T.C. Richardson of New Orleans, and J.E. Richardson of Winnsboro, Route 2, who is Deacon and the faithful Sunday School Superintendent of the Boeuff River Church. She is greatly missed. "Asleep in Jesus! Blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep! A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes." A friend
