BERLE D. "BEN" RICHARDSON

FORMER LOCAL TEACHER DIES IN ARKANSAS
Body of D.B. Richardson To Be Brought Here Sunday
D. Berle Richardson, former teacher in the schools in this city, being engaged
at the first ward, died at Saline Springs, Arkansas, yesterday after an illness
that had extended over a period of two years and had forced Mr. Richardson to
retire from the profession of teaching which had been his life work. The body of
Mr. Richardson will be brought here Saturday for burial at Evergreen cemetery.
News of the death of Mr. Richardson was received in a message last night and
containing the announcement of the shipment of the body to this city. The remains
will be accompanied by Mrs. Richardson who previous to her marriage was Alma
Klingholz, daughter of Mrs. Mathilda Salak.
Visited Here Recently.
Mr. Richardson, who made his home here for a number of years and who during the
war was in charge of the municipal gardening plan, visited here last summer
previous to his departure for the west where he went in hope of recuperating from
the illness which has been undermining his health and which had already made
serious inroads upon his system. Mr. and Mrs. Richardson left Wisconsin for Arkansas
last fall.
Mr. Richardson was 48 years of age and was well known as a teacher in Wisconsin
schools having taught at Janesville, Hudson, Lake Geneva and other cities. Following
his retirement here he was for two years superintendent of schools at Lake Geneva
until forced to retire on account of ill health.
Leaves Wife and Daughter
Besides his wife, Mr. Richardson is survived by one daughter, Miss Marie, who is
making her home with relatives at Hudson, Wis. His father and one sister also survive.
Mr. Richardson up to the time of his departure from the city was a member of the
Manitowoc Lodge of Elks.
