The Cherokee Advance  [Canton, GA]  5 Feb 1886 p 2
The death of Col. Edmund Richardson at Jackson, Miss., is announced.  Mr. 
Richardson long enjoyed the reputation of being the world's greatest cotton 
planter, and he was perhaps the South's richest man.  His cotton plantations, 
19 in number, contain about 50,000 acres, and his estate is estimated to be 
worth between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000.  Mr. Richardson was very well known 
in business circles and to the leading cotton planters of Mississippi, 
Arkansas, and Louisiana. He was President of the World's Fair at New Orleans 
last winter.
