HOW RICHMOND GOT Name
TOLD BY FRANK ROBERTS
How did Richmond get its name?

How did Richmond get its name?
This question has been asked sew
eral times this week as the city is
celebrating the centennial anniver-
sary of its founding.
Most people believe that the city is
a namesake Of Richmond, Virginia,
but this myth was exploded today by
Frank Roberts, a well-known Rich
mond business man and a great-grand-
son Of one of the three men appointed
as q committee to select a name for
the settlement over hundred years
ago.
Richmond was named after Rich
mond county. England" Mr.. Roberts
said today. II have this information
from my grandfather, who, as a boy.
attended meetings Of the committee
appointed to select name, the COM
mittee being composed OF his father,
Thomas Roberts, John Smith and Jer-
emiah Cox. These three men were
among the earliest settlers Of this COM
munity, Smith being known as the
founder Of Richmond. My great-grand-
father wanted the town named Water
ford after county in Wales, the home
of his ancestors. 1t happened, how
ever, that the ancestors of Smith and
Cox came from Richmond county. Eng

OFFERS COUNTY
GIFT TO HELP
new HOSPITAL

Wayne county commissioners have
been offered a large donation to help
in the establishment of tuberculosis
hospital, it was learned today. The
commissioners are now trying to reach
an agreement with the donor whereby
the gift may be accepted.
Because no definite agreements have
been reached the commissioners de-
cline to reveal the nature of the gift
or the name Of the giver.
Two weeks ago the board in an
executive session decided to call off
meeting of the county council called
to pass on an additional $1,000 appro-
priation for the purchase Of ground
on which the hospital could be located.
The commissioners refused abso-
lutely to give any reason for the
action.
At the same time, the commission
ers announced that they had decided
to let an option run out which they
held on thirty-seven acre farm east
of Centerville.
