He was born in Worth County, Missouri.
The inscription on his headstone: Son of Valentine and Sarah Smith Richmond.
His wife Martha M., also buried at Hoblett Cemetery, preceded him in death.
The Hoblett Cemetery in Worth County (called the H. Hett Graveyard on the death certificate) that Elijah is buried in is supposedly difficult to access and find. An online source says it's "about 2 miles north of Denver and 1/2 mile from the road." It has been abandoned.
