    The death of Mrs. John Richardson, which occurred on Sunday last removes one of the most highly respected residents of this section. She was In her sixty sixth year and had lived in this vicinity for almost half a century, sharing the trials and hardships of pioneer life with her aged and now sorrowing husband, who survives her. A year so ago the aged couple retired from the homestead at the corner of the section and fifth lines and came to this village to reside.

    They raised a family of upright sons and daughters, most of whom are honored residents of the township, and to whom the sincere condolence of the entire community is extended in their hour of sorrow. The funeral occurs at Rush's cemetery to-day (Wednesday) after services in the English church in this village.
