Death of Joseph Richardson.

A clipping from Pueblo, Colorado,
paper announcing the death of Joseph
Richardson, formerly of Mineral Point,
has reached this office. 1t so happened
that no date of death was given, but
,as resolutions OF respect and coincidence
by fellow workmen were dated March
10, 1919, we conclude it must have oc-
cured close thereto.
Joseph Richardson was born at Dur
ham. England, Nov. 10, 1864, and came
with his parents to Mineral Point in
1868 He was united in marriage to
Miss Lizzie Daniels of this city Dec 21,
1892, and she with one child. daughter,
survive; also three brothers A +.
Richardson of Dolores, Colorado, A. l..
Richardson of Perry, Iowa. and Fred
Richardson of Boseobel.
Deceased had been employed by the
C. f. & !. company of Pueblo for Is
years and at the time of his death was
foreman of the machine shop tool room
A committee of the company, in resolu-
tion form, expressed the sense of his
fellow workers in these words of praise
'In contact with him at his daily tasks
and otherwise, we found him 20 be a
man of sterling qualities, a capable
craftsman and one always in good re
pute. The mechanical world has lost a
genius; his place will be hard to fill. "
Those now living and wei Of Mineral
Point when Mr. Richardson lived here
as lad, will not wonder at this express
sion of the committee. He was genius
then. Do you remember the vest-pocket
steam engine he made of brass anc
with crude tools at his humble home
and how smooth and true it would run
