Charles Richardson.

Having discharged his obligations
and performed his duties well, he
passed the Great Divide. Charles
Richardson was born July 10, 1858
at Columbus, Ind When a boy he
went with his father to Marshall
county, Indiana. He attended its
country schools and graduated wher
a young man from it's State Uni.
versity. He was admitted to the ba;
and practiced law at Plymouth, Ind.
as a partner of Ex-Judge Capron
In 1883 he became special agent oi
the old Franklin Insurance Co. OF
Indiapanolis, Ind. and in 1884 en-
tered the field service of the Fire
mans Insurance Co.. of Dayton, o
,nti in 1888 was elected its secre-
tary. Shortly after the Firemen'.
Insurance Company sold out to the
National Insurance Company O.
Hartford, Connecticut, he became
its assistant manager at Chicago
H., and continued in this service
ur til i'll health compelled him to re
ti1e in 1914.
On January II, 1888, he married
Maude Birdie Lecklider, daughter
of L. G. Lecklider, prominent
physician of Greenville, o. His wife
preceded him in death on June 30
1906. He left surviving him an &C.
complished daughter, Miss Lucy
Richardson, and a son, Robert, q
banker but now in the military ser
vice, both of Evanston, Illinois
where the family reside. Last Jan.
uary he went to St. Petersburg
Fla, to improve his health, but on
Tuesday, February 10, 1918, he sue
cumbed to cerebral hemorrhage. His
body arrived here Saturday, Feb
90, 1918, and after the Episcopa
church service, Rev. Leckonby ofic
iating, at the home of his brother
in-law and sister-in-law, Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin B. Trainor, 200 Vine
street, he was laid to rest beside his
deceased wife in the GreenviIle
cemetery. ~...
Mr.. Richardson was, an accomp-
lished gentleman. His urbanity OF
manner, equipoise and dignity al
ways commanded attention and re-
spect. With it all his courtesy and
kindness gave to his company all
especial charm. Clean in though
and action, he sought the ideal and
succeeded in the practical application
of good conduct to the performance
of duty. He achieved for his en-
ployer and his employer trusted and
approved. 1t was the mutual reci-
procity of an energetic confidence
that made his insurance business
prosper and placed upon his ell
deavor the high standard of conl-
mercial life.
Refined, cultivated, educated, he
stood abreast the storm of business
difficulties and annoying perplexi
ties and brought out of the apparen
chaos a successful determination
Not only had he action, but correc
action. His thinking proceeded up
on a correct premise, whereby his
judgment became sound and irrefut'
able.
He was a. devoted father and hus
band and loved the inspiring in
fuence of true friends. He belonged
to the Sigma Chi fraternity and was
a thirty-second degree Mason.
A good man is gone, good in the
elevated morale of the world, noble
in sentiment and pure in soul. HI
was here in the grandeur of life anc
may such blessedness to him con
tinue beyond the grave.
