A RESPECTED OLD CITIZEN PASSES AWAY

Anthony Richardson, a respected colored citizen, passed away at his home in
this city last Saturday, after a brief illness. For over forty years he had
been a resident here, where he at one time was the proprietor of a barber
shop.

Mr. Richardson, who was seventy-one years old, was born in Bourbon county,
Ky., and at the age of nineteen became a private in Capt. Thompson's
Company N, Forty-Second Regiment of Wisconsin Infantry, as which he served
his country's call until he received an honorable discharge. In 1878 he was
united in marriage to Mrs. Aldine Dixon, of Janesville, and to this union
three children were born--Edward who died at the age of seventeen; Arthur
Richardson, of Prairie View State Normal Industrial College, Texas, and
Mrs. Alice Ferguson, of Rockford.

Funeral services were held from his late home yesterday afternoon at 2:30,
being conducted by the REv. Malcolm Miller, of the Congregational church.
Interment at Maple Hill cemetery.
