The sale was held on 16 Jun 1932 More About Rachel Katherine Greenaway: Burial: 23 Nov 1931, Alexander Cemetery, Madera, Clearfield County, PA Notes for William Harvey Richardson: Uncertain origins. William, whom everybody called "Bill", would never talk about where he was from, or why he came to America. All he would tell anyone was that he was born in England , and that one day he just skipped town and had stowed away on a boat. His son Ben wrote me a letter before he died. He told me that he thought his father had been born in London, and he may have been the son of a sea captain. He had excellent penmanship , so he might have been educated. He believed that William had been a stowaway in order to emigrate from England. Family history tells that William may have entered through New York, but that he didn't use ordinary Immigration customs. While the ship was heading into port, Bill jumped overboard and swam to shore. William's brother in law Isaac Greenaway and Bob Kephart had been out drinking on 29 Apr 1905 , and were letting the horse guide the carriage home. But at a railroad crossing, the horse turned and began to walk down the train tracks. They were killed by a passing train, with Isaac' s head becoming severed and rolling down a hill. Family legend has it that William Richardson retrieved the head, and while holding it by the hair, washed the face off, all the while whistling. Local legend is that Isaac's ghost still haunts the spot. Bill had a handle bar mustache. Long before he died he went blind , which frustrated him as he loved to read since his retirement. On his deathbed, family tradition tells that he kept yelling "I can see you all !!!" (theses two stories were told to me in 1979 by Ruby (nee Metro) Richardson, wife of his son Henry.)
