OBITUARY = MRS. FRED L. RICHARDSON.
Belle Englehardt was born at Boones-
Vile, Prentiss county, Miss, Jan. 9th,
1892. At the age of seven years she
was left motherless; three years later
her father moved to Beloit, Wis, with
his four little children, where he died
the following year. Mr.. and Mrs. R.
III. Stockman of MELVILLE adopted the
two boys and took the two girls to
bring up. That was their home until
Mr.. and Mrs. Stockman moved to Cali
fornia. Belle attended Edgerton high
school one year and later went to the
Whitewater normal to fit herself for a
teacher. She taught at Lima, Avon
and S. E. Fulton. On June 5th, 1912,
she was united in marriage to Fred
Richardson at the home of his parents
here She died April %, 1913, of heart
trouble, the result of quinsy. Besides
the bereaved husband and little six
weeks old babe, Bernice Ruth, she
leaves to mourn her loss one sister,
Mrs. Chas. Teubert of Edgerton, and
two brothers, Albert and Lee of Cali
fornia. The funeral was held from the
home of George Richardson on Satur-
day, April 26, Rev. F. w. Schoenfeid
Of the Congregational church of Edger-
ton preaching the funeral sermon in
the same room where he united her and
Fred in marriage less than year ago.
Song service was rendered by Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Burdick of Edgerton. In
terment was at Milton Junction. The
pail bearers were Fay Richardson, Lee
Alder, George Sherman and Lawrence
Sherman.
Belle has gone to that land where sin
and sorrow are unknown, but her good
example, kind words and happy dispo-
sition will always remain in this COM
munity where she grew to spotless
womanhood and was beloved by all.
Though our heartfelt sympathy goes
out to the young husband who is SO
soon bereft of his loved one, who was
so happy in planning with him the new
home they were soon to occupy, and
the only sister whom she loved so dear
ly, still we realize our own loss in the
United Brethren church, in the 7. P.
c. E.. and in the Sunday school, all of
which held her in high esteem as
faithful member and willing worker.
Her death was shock to the commune
ity, for no one realized the end was
near as she had been sick only few
days. The many beautiful floral offer
ings were silent messengers of the es-
TEEN in which she was held. Though
she is gone she will never be forgotten.
