Her young life was marred by the death of her mother, at the age of 18 months. In the spring of 1883, she and her brother, Will, came to America, and since that time their homes have never been more than a mile apart. She came to Kansas in 1884, residing in Republic county (sic) for thirty-four years. In 1918, she with her husband retired from their farm to Chester, Nebr., where she resided until her death. On December 31st, 1885, she was united in marriage to Arthur Richards at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T.B. Benson, in Liberty township (sic), Republic county (sic), Kansas. To this union were born five children: Archie, of China; Frances Williams, Edd., Elsie Sanford and Inez Davis, of Belleville, Kansas. She with her husband professed their faith in their Savior during the Crabill meetings in 1924. Her life was a testimony of her living faith. On October 28th, 1937, she had the misfortune to fall and fracture her hip. Professional skill and loving hands did their utmost, but to no avail. Last Wednesday afternoon, surrounded by all her family, save one, her spirit calmly took its flight on the wings of prayer to her home beyond, at the age of 80 years, 2 months and 11 days. Although resting from her labors, her works do follow and are felt even to the uttermost parts, through the life of her eldest son, who has spent the last twenty years as a missionary in China. She graced her home, ministering to her husband and family in a self-sacrificing way for over fifty years. This close family circle was first broken by the passing of this mother. The infirmity of old age greatly handicapped her, but her indominable (sic) will enabled her to continue to enjoy her associations. Her friends were numbered by her acquaintances. Her neighborliness was felt far and wide, especially during her early married life, when by precept and example, she helped build the community life in a comparatively new country. Those remaining to mourn are her husband; five children; fourteen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; an older brother, Will, of Chester; two older sisters, Lizzie of Canada, and Anna of England; and many other relatives and friends. No greater tribute can be paid than: "She was a good mother." The funeral services were held from the Methodist church at Chester, on Friday afternoon, January 21, 1938, conducted by her pastor, the Rev. C.G. Ellis. Interment in the Chester cemetery (sic). Those from a distance attending the funeral for Mrs. A. Richards, Friday, were: Mr. and Mrs. Harry Richards, Mexico, Mo.; Mr. and Mrs. Will Hunt, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hunt and Mrs. Gertie Timmons, of Lincoln; Mrs. J.J. Richards, Miss Evelyn Richards and Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Richards, Salina, Kans.; and Mrs. and Mrs. Harry Wills and Mrs. Bessie Snyder, Auburn.
