Death of H. D. Richardson Harve Dean Richardson was born in Rochester, Vermont, October 13, 1822. He died at his home in Woodland, Iowa, January 9, 1912, at the age of 89 years, two months and 26 days. He was married to Elizabeth Lockwood January 6, 1848, and started for Iowa, May 1 of the same year, landing in Van Buren county, May 24,
at which place he lived for three years. He then moved to Davis County where he lived for three years. In 1854 he came to Decatur County, settling on a farm in Woodland Township, where he lived until the death of his wife, June 14, 1900. He was the father of four children, namely: Lewis L. of High Point township, George, formerly of Corydon, now residing at Sayre, Okla; Mrs. Emma Beavers, of Woodland and Mrs. Ellen Biddison, of Cainsville, Mo. In 1902 deceased was united with Mrs. Addie Fleming of Woodland, Iowa, at which place they have since made their home. Two years ago last August he lost the use of his lower limbs and since that time he has been confined to his bed unable to move. During this two years of suffering "Uncle Harvey" as he is familiarly known, manifested great courage. He was a man of genial and cheerful disposition and had a pleasant word
for everybody. He was a splendid neighbor, a good citizen, a loving husband, and kind father. Many years were allotted to him and he used his time in a way that made him a prosperous man. Many of the younger people in the community were glad to go to Uncle Harvey for advice. He will be missed in the home and throughout the whole community. Funeral services were held in the M. E. church at Woodland, Thursday, Jan. 11, 1912 conducted by Rev. J. S. Coffin, pastor of the Leon Christian church, assisted by Rev. W. H. Wilson, of Woodland. The remains were laid to rest in the Leon cemetery. Card of Thanks. We wish to thank the friends and relatives for the kindness shown us in our sad bereavement.
-Mrs. Addie Richardson, Mr. and Mrs. Erle L. Beavers.
