He and his wife, Nancy (Anna- unknown why she is listed as Nancy in several sources) Davis Richardson enlivened the congregation and the Yonkers community. The church flourished, growing to a membership of several hundred, and offering a rich music program an active church school (under Ms. Richardson's direction) and a strong involvement in social action. Rev. Richardson's ministry lasted through the Depression years and into the Second World War. During World War II, 31 members of the congregation were in service; one was killed in France.
