Death Of w. Holt Richardson.
In New Kent county, in 1916, Mr.. w.
Holt Richardson, the subject OF this no.
ticc, was born. When but youth he
came TO Richmond, and learned the buSi-
ness OF tailor in the house operated by Mr.
William Allen, who at that time was one
OF the most prosperous tailOrS in the city.
Young Richardson was steady and at
tentiye to his work. and soon earned the
confidence Of his employer and the good
will OF his associates. Such was his appli-
cation to work, and so correct his habits
in life, that it was not long before he was
the proprietor OF an establishment him
self; and when the whlrligig OF time by
one OF its curious revolutions threw his
old employer from his position OF great
wealth to the level OF beng forced
TO labor for his living, Mr.. Rich
ardson found it in his power to give
him employment. In early life he
ioned the Methodist Episcopal Church.
and for a half century has been to it
strong support, his example throwing
light into places OF darkness and doubt.
Modest and unassuming. he won the con-
fidence OF his fellow-men by strict integrity
and uprightness, and was frequently hon
ored in the Oden time by elections to the
Common Council, running in a.; through
a period OF ten years. He was one OF the
trustees and founders OF the Brosd-Street
Methodist church, and here held his men,
bershiD ever since the chuech was COM
pleted. and from it his funeral will take
place mt $50 o'clock this afternoon.
Mr. Richardson married Miss Mary Rid
dick, daughter OF Edward Riddck, and
family OF eight children blessed the union.
OF these only two are left TO dcplore with
the mother the loss OF the husband and
father.
The deceased was never man OF robust
health, and it is almost matter OF surprise
that Il tenement so frail should have lasted
for so long n number Of years as siXty-siX.
Perhaps it would not had not Mr.. Richard
son been man OF such temperate, blame
less, and prudent habits.
Finding himself in failing health, short
time since he went TO the Red Sweet
Springs in the hope OF finding relief.
His disappointment in this behalf culmina-
ted in a stroke OF paralysis, which came on
last Monday, and which terminated fatally
yesterday.
Rev. T.. w. Roach.

hundreds OF people in all parts OF the
State.
