SlIoRT CREEE, BRooxE Co., W. VA, \
January 30th, 1878. !
DEAR siR:-In answer to your request
will say that my first acquaintance with
Stephen Richards, the father Of Stephen
Decatur Richards, was In the year 1870,
when he moved from Martins Ferry, o.,
with his mother, an aged widow lady,
who kept house for him and his brother,
boy about ten or twelve years Of age.
They lived on the place about two years
when they again moved, going back to
Ohio.
They were:a very civil, respectable fam.
lily. Richards was not married at that
time, but in the year 1855 he moved back
again, bringing a wife and two children.
Stephen D. Richards, his second child, was
then but q few months old. He lived on
the farm about three years that time, and
worked by the month al the time he was
there. Stephen d. was fine looking child,
and when about three years old his father
again moved back to Ohio. Mr.. Richards
was steady man, temperate in his habits,
and q good citizen, but very supestitious,
believing In witches, dreams, ghosts, &c.
As for his wife am not prepared
to say much. l believe she was
raised in Marshall county, West Va,
do not remember what her maiden
name was. She was over the average In
size, rather masculine in appearance and
without education. She used to say that
she did not know much about house work,
but that she could plow and make rails.
have not had the acquaintance OF any
Of the family since they moved away,
Yours, Respectfully,
NJ

A Black Earth Suicide.
Madison Democrat.

In Sunday mornmGs Democrat
4 brief item spoke of the accidental
shooting ofa young man named
lslcy, in the town of Black Earth.
II now appears that the young
man committed suicide The fol
lowing facts are received from our
Black Earth correspondent;
Saturday morning about $50
O'Clock n messenger came riding in
to town with all the speed his horse
could muster, and halting ut Justice
Bunott's office informed him that
his services were wanted to hold an
inquest over the body ofa young
man Ivy the namc Of John islcy,
who had been III the employ of a
farmer hy the name Of Roberts,
living about three miles and half
from the village MIR Burnett
summoned deputy sheriff mills, and
they, together with six more men
for jurors, and the village physician,
started for the eof death. After
going through the necessary pro-
eccdings, They decided that the said
John lsloy had committed suicide;
but the cause of his doing 81 could
not then he discovered, The body
WAS lying ON lis back, with limbs
in cramped position, and II gun
Just rs il had iallcn from his hand
after il had been discharged the
stock resting III the fork of Il small
tree and the muzacl on the ground,
II seems lsley had been out to u
party and did not set home till
= o'clock Saturday morning The
report is that while nj the party he
had some little dispute or quarrel
with young lady upon whom he
was waiting, and was heard to
make the threat that he would then
shoot himself. The next morning
he went out To do his milking, before
breakfast, rs usual. When that
WINS finished hc went 20 the house
and asked for gun, saying he had
heard II partridge out in the woods,
about fifteen rods from the house,
and he would go out and shoot il;
and in few minutes more the re-
port of the gun was heard, but
nothing was thought of il then.
When il was time for break fast, and
he had not yet come, Mr.. Roberts
thought best To 90 out and look him
up; so going IN the direction whence
the report came, found him as de-
scribcd above. II appears that he
had placed the stock Of the gun in
the fork Of u tree and, taking The
barrel in one hand, and stick he
had broken from the tree, in the
other, placed the muzzle close to
his breast, pushing aside vest and
blouse, put the stick against the
trigger and off went the gun, the
whole charge entering his heart, or
