J. Richards, aged 93 years. He was the patriarch of Horn Hill district, where he has resided for about 27 years. Deceased was born in Merionethshire, North Wales, in 1818, and came to Alberta two years after the death of his wife in 1881, and settled on his present homestead at Horn Hill in 1894, where he has resided ever since. He leaves two sons and two daughters to mourn his death, namely: Evan and J. J. Richards, Mrs. Christopher White and Mrs. John Cade, together with 17 grandchildren. J. J. Richards, a short time ago, left for Quebec to buy some cattle. The old gentleman missed him very much, and started to sink. Every effort was put forth to recall his son, but Mr. Richards did not know of his father's illness until he arrived at Calgary on his return journey. He then came up at once and reached home before his father's death. The funeral took place from the family residence to Horn Hill Methodist church, where service was held after which interment took place in the Horn Hill cemetery.
