Richard McConnell
1846
Died 24 Jan 1881


Additional Comments:
This is a replacement headstone set at the cemetery by Cedric Fitch, the 
caretaker.  Richard's original headstone was so worn and damaged you could no 
longer read his name.

Richard died of injuries he substained during the war (according to his 
military records he was injuried and never able to recover).

Richard was born to Lawrence and Mary McConnell in Wisconsin.  Richard married 
Lutecia Boldon on 05 Sep 1872, in Vernon County, WI.  Lutecia is the daughter 
of John Love and Nancy Ann Murphy Boldon.  She is the grand daughter of Old Sam 
T and Margaret Love Boldon.

Richard and Lutecia had two sons: Lawrence Eli McConnell born 12 Jun 1873 in 
Forest Township, Vernon County, WI and Louis Guy McConnell born 10 Mar 1876 
also in Forest Township, Vernon County, WI.  Louis died in 1896 and is buried 
at the Billings Creek (Johnny Cake)Cemetery.

Lawrence moved to the state of Washington by his uncle Albert Truax Boldon.  
Lawrence was marrried to Leulia A. Abbott, the widow of Clarence A. Stoddard.
