Charles Newell Richardson died at the Battles Home, Lowell, June 7, aged eighty-three years. He was born in Jaffrey, N.H., April 12, 1839, son of Solomon and Sarah Richardson. The family moved to Westford when he was a young man and lived on the place now owned by C. Willis Hildreth [86 Main St.]. In his early life he followed the sea on whaling trips on a ship commanded by his cousin, Capt. Charles Newell, when the whaling industry was flourishing. He afterwards served as engineer on the Boston and Lowell railroad, and then went to Oregon and was employed as an engineer in a large lumber mill. Returning from the west he again became an engineer on the Boston and Lowell railroad for several years. Leaving the railroad he resided with his brother, the late Albert P. Richardson, and for a number of years, until his health failed, was caretaker of Fairview cemetery.
In his youthful days with his parents and other members of the family, he was an attendant at the old First Parish church. We recall with a degree of inspiration his tall, erect and handsome physique, the ideal picture of health as it appealed to us six years his junior.
He leaves a sister, Mrs. Sherman H. Fletcher [nee Mary E. Richardson], and a daughter, Mrs. S. Thompson Blood [nee Ida A. Richardson], of Con-cord Junction, and several nieces and grandchildren.
The funeral took place last week Friday after-noon from the Battles Home in Lowell, Rev. Caleb E. Fisher, minister of the First Universalist church, conducting the service. Burial was in the family lot in Fairview cemetery, where Dr. Fisher read the committal service. The bearers were relatives.
He m. (1) in 1863, Sarah Walker of Nashua. They divorced and he m.(2) in 1881, Sarah Daley.
