      William James Richards, son of James R. Richards, was born in the town of Mineral Point, on the 13th of January 1867 and died in this city April 18, 1921.
      At the age of 20 years he went to Montana in quest of that fortune so eagerly sought by every industrious young American.  There he persevered for about fourteen years.
      He married to Avis S. Curry of Dodgeville February 15, 1898.  Four children were born to them-two sons and two daughters.  One son preceded him to the life beyond.
      For the last eighteen years he with his family partook of farm life in the Alberta section of Canada.  Finally his vigorous constitution broke.  He tested California's recuperative merits without satisfaction, then wended this way, arriving in this city the 1st of last January, accompanied by his wife, one son and one daughter.  Diabetis haunted him and he gradually grew weaker the end coming suddenly with an acute attack beginning about three days before death stepped in.
      Besides his wife and children he is survived by his father (a respected townsman of this place).  five brothers and five sisters, namely: John of Deer Lodge, Montana, Curtis of this city, Henry and Oscar of Hall, Montana, Frank of Platteville, Mrs. J. Whitford of Eagle Grove, Iowa, Mrs Wm Argall of this city, Mrs Thomas Walker of Tacoma, Washington,  Mrs Chas. Francois of Medford and Mrs Gilbert Gorgen of Fennimore.
      Brief prayer serice will be held at the home of John R. Brown, uncle of deceased, and funeral services will be in the Methodist Episcopal Church at 2 PM today(Thursday) conducted by the pastor, Rev. John Birrrell.

Need to look up cities of Medford and Fennimore to see if they are in Wisconsin?

Need copy of death cert to see when he is buried.  Might be Dodgeville where his wife was from.
