JAMES NJ. RICHARDSON DEAD.
He Was Private Secretary to sena-
tor Mallory.
25A BRYAN STREET,


Gainesville Fla, May 16-Mr. James
Madison Richardson, private secretary of
Senator Mallory, died suddenly in Wash
ington city, on Saturday night. of heart
disease.
The sad and shocking information of
his untimely death reached this city on
Sunday morning by a telegram from SEN
ator Mallory to Senator H. II. McCreary,
proprietor of the Sun, who is brother
in-law of the deceased.
The suddenness of his taking away has
not only brought unspeakable grief 80
those who were nearest and dearest to
him, but also saddens the hearts of his
large circle of warm personal friends re-
siding in Gainesville. Alachua county,
and throughout the state.
Mr.. Richardson was a young man of
far more than ordinary attachments, hav-
ing a thorough collegiate and business
education. He was born in Gainesville,
Dec. 81, 1868, his parents being the late j.
NJ. and Margaret L. Richardson. His
parents were natives of Sumter, S. c., his
mothers maiden name being Margaret
Fraser.
No young man in Florida had a brighter
future before him than that which was
anticipated for Mr. Richardson by his
numerous friends. He seemed happily
endowed by nature with those essential
qualifications which aid men of merit TO
achieve success In all their undertakings.
He was a model young man, and in all
the relations of life he enjoyed the conf
dence, respect and esteem of those who
knew him best.
