Read More	Arthur Richards, the youngest of a family of sixteen children, was born August 25, 1859, near Helston, Cornwall, England, and peacefully departed this life at his home in Chester, Nebr., August 10, 1939, at the full age of 79 years, 11 months and 16 day. At the age of 24, he came to America, and settled in Republic county (sic), Kansas, south of Chester, where he lived for 35 years. In 1918 he moved to Chester where he spent the remainder of his life. He was united in marriage to Miss Sarah T. Hunt, December 31, 1885, and lived to celebrate in 1935, one of the most enjoyable events of their married life, their Golden Anniversary. This union, however, was broken January 19, 1938, when his companion preceded him in death. Five children came to bless this home, Archie B., Frances M. Williams, Edward J., Elsie A. Sanford, and Inez E. Davis, all of whom survive, together with 14 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, and numerous other relatives. He was the last of his family to go, being preceded by eight sisters and seven brothers. At the age of 65 he was wonderfully converted during the Craybill revival at Chester. Since that time his life has given evidence to the fact that he was a new creature in Jesus Christ, considering it a privilege to teach his Sunday School class and serve as a member of the Board of Trustees of the church. Realizing that the time of his departure was at hand, he enthusiastically bore a clear testimony to a living faith in Christ as his Saviour and departed this life triumphantly. Although he has passed on to a higher and better life, the effects of his christian life will be felt for years to come, even as his life was influenced during his younger days by his godly mother. He was industrious, a man of integrity and sound judgment, attaining a measure of success, and provided well for his family, his children responding with a living ministry during his declining years. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; Yea, Saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them." There is no flock, however, watched and tended, But one dead lamb is there, There is o fireside, howso'er defended, But has one vacant chair. There is no death! What seems so is transition This life of mortal breath Is but a suburb of the life elysian, Whose portal we call death. "Alas!" they cried, "he never saw the morn, but fell asleep..out..wearied with the strife; Nay,..rather..he arose and met the dawn of everlasting life." Funeral services were conducted in the Methodist Church at Chester, Nebr., on March 31. Rev, James K. Irwin was the minister in charge. Music was furnished by Mrs. L.W. Eickmann and Mrs. Howard Reed, with Mrs. Floyd Haifleigh at the organ. Pallbearers were Russell Burton, Richard Claybaker, Erskine Eickman, Robert Weary, Max Larkins and Dolan Frye. Burial was in the Chester Cemetery, Bachelor-Faulkner-Dart Funeral Home in charge.
