Obituary of Mary Cobbs Richardson
Wife of J.W. Richardson

Funeral services were held on March 14, 1936, for Mrs. J.W. Richardson amid a 
great host of sorrowing relatives and friends, with Eld. J.W. Hamilton in 
charge assisted by Elds. McKissack, Corbin, Ryburn and Christian.

Sister Richardson was born April 14th, 1853 in Mississippi; came to Texas in 
1868; was married to Eld. J.W. Richardson February 14, 1871; twelve children 
were born to this union four dying in infancy; five boys and three girls 
survive her as follows: N.L., C.H., and F.B. Richardson of Fairfield; J.A. and 
H. Richardson of Lamesa; Mrs. G.N. Solomon, Cuthbert; Mrs. H.S. Henry, Kirven 
and Mrs. W.C. Millikin, Fairfield, all of whom were present at the funeral.

Sister Richardson was converted and joined the Baptist Church at Lost Prairie 
at the age of 18.  She was a charter member of Antioch Church and oh! How we 
miss her for she was ever present.  She was ever faithful to the Lord and 
Church; was a kind and loving wife and mother and the best neighbor I’ve ever 
known.

Although it grieves our hearts to part, we know she is at rest and we will meet 
her some day soon.

We can only point her dear children to her Lord for comfort as he alone can 
heal the broken heart.  So may you look to Him is my prayer.

--One Who Loved Her.
