DEATH AT SWORDS CREEK May 5, 1911 Lebanon News
News of the death of C.C. Richardson, of Swords Creek, in the upper edge of Russell last week, reached the localist too late for last paper.
The deceased was perhaps the oldest citizen in the New Garden District, being 84 years of age. He is survived by his young widow and three children. As a citizen and neighbor he bore a splendid record. The News extends sympathy to the bereaved family.

Father's name was listed on his baptism record when he joined The Church of Jesus of Latter Day Saints on 22 Oct 1881. His mother was baptized that same day. His father and mother were never married.
