Lake Odessa Wave - Feb. 15, 1907
          HERMAN G. RICHARDS DIES TUESDAY OF TYPHOID FEVER 
      AT HOME OF WIFE'S PEOPLE IN DANBY, MR. AND MRS. WILLETS.
   Surprised and saddened indeed were the many, many friends here of Herm Richards
to bear Tuesday that 
he had just died.  Scarcely could they believe it, true as it was.  He and his wife
had gone there some six or 
eight weeks ago to assist in caring for her people who were then sick with typhoid
fever  Herman it seems 
contracted the disease with the above result, strong, hearty and active as he was.
   The funeral was held yesterday afternoon from the Methodist church the service
being conducted by the 
pastor Rev. J. C. Cook and interment was made in Lakeside cemetery.
   Herman was a great favorite with his many young men friends, being especially
remembered as the very 
able catcher for the Lake Odessa ball team, as well as helping out in that capacity
in between times for other 
teams as for instance Woodland and Sunfield.  He was a good all around player and
put much life into the 
game.  In his other work as farmer or day laborer he was ready and willing and
always had a glad hand for all.
