Miss Mary Elizabeth Brewer married Charles Thomas Richardson on 31 July 1861 at Louisville, Mississippi. The couple came to Texas after the Civil War. They moved to Young County, Texas in 1890. She preceded him in death.
Elder Charles Richardson was a soldier in the Civil War and was with General Robert E Lee at the surrender of Appomattox Court House. He began preaching in Wise County and Montague County, Texas. Elder Richardson was baptized and ordained by Elder J.A. Campbell. He was pastor of the True Primitive Baptist church.
Elder Richardson was a pleasant man, he was not aggressive in his view towards others in either his religion or politics. He regarded it as a sacred privilege that every person be allowed his views in religion. He was mild and meek to others. His example of honesty and religion is worthy of the imitation of everyone.
Services were officiated by Elder J.H. Fisher of the Medlan's Chapel Primitive Baptist Church held at the meeting place where Elder Richardson preached. He was buried beside his wife at old True, near the meeting place where he so often preached Jesus.
Survived by four children - Turner Richardson, Mrs. Fannie Terrell, Mrs. Eller Howard, Mrs. Lula Blakney; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; two brothers - Dr. Ike Richardson and Rev. James Richardson
He was preceded in death by his wife and one son.
He was born at Campbell County, Georgia. The county was formed on 20 December 1828 by the Georgia Legislature from Carroll, Coweta, DeKalb and Fayette counties. The county was named for Duncan G Campbell, one of the US Commissioners. The county existed 104 years. The northwest half of Campbell County became Douglas County in 1870, divided on 17 October at the Chattahoochee River. The remainder of Campbell County was ceded to Fulton County at the end of 1931, along with MIlton County, to save money.
