LEWIS RICHARDS

Died in this city, July 20, 1872, of consumption, Lewis T. Richards,
second son of Jonah and Mary Ann Richards, aged 18 years and three months.
The subject of the notice, thus cut down in the flower of his youth, by
that fell disease, consumption, for seven long months lingered on a bed of
sickness, which he bore with a fortitude and resignation only equaled by
those of more mature years. He met his fate with a calmness and
resignation possessed by none but those who relied on the blood shed by
the Savior of Mankind, and surrendered his life into the hands of his
Maker, with a blissful consciousness of a happy mortality. (Manitowoc Co.
Chronicle, July 29, 1872)
