EMILIA RICHARDS / MARYAN EMILIA
From Der Nord Westen, 20 Apr. 1899:
Death Sun. evening, after many years of illness, of Mrs. James Richards here. The
deceased was born 28 Mar. 1849 in England and came with her parents to Manitowoc
as a child and has lived here ever since. In addition to her husband she leaves
8 children. The burial took place yesterday at the city cemetery.
*******
The last sad rites over the mortal remains of the late Mrs. James Richards
were held this afternoon. Short services were held at the home at 2 o'clock
and at 3 o'clock at the M.E. church. The large attendance was an impressive
token of the affectionate regard in which the deceased was held. Rev. Hooton
delivered the funeral sermon, choosing for his text the passage of scripture
found in Luke 8,52. "She is not dead, but Sleepeth." He paid a glowing tribute
to the memory of the departed and dwelt upon the fact that there was no death,
what seemed so was but transition. In a few moments they would stand by the
grave and say dust to dust, ashes to ashes, but that would be said only of
that which was mortal, the shrine or temple; the soul had gone to the God
who give it; and they knew and were certain that she had crossed the bar,
she still lived and saw her pilot face to face. The memory of her beautiful
life should be a perennial source of comfort to the family. Every thought of
what she was should be a perpetual inspiration. She was still the loving wife
and mother and these thoughts are of comfort when they "sigh for the touch
of a vanished hand and the sound of a voice that is stilled." The floral
tributes were profuse and beautiful, the casket being almost completely
hidden from view. A large funeral cortage followed the remains to their
last resting place in Evergreen cemetery.
