ed for his Sl-year-old mother, when
she learned OF his death. to plumb
tho depth OF the sincerity of his eX-
ira ordinary character by saying:

which the world came to know him
was given him during his early man

Born IN 1870
George Lewis Richard. then, was
born January .. 1870. The date OF
his birth has been variously misrep-
resented. due usually to a prevailing
tendency to lop few years from the
toll taken by time from prominent
characters.
Rickard himself was uncertain in
later years as to the exact place OF
his birth. He always gave it as
Kansas City, but once explained:
"Wcll, it was outside Kansas City
in place called White Church. Kan
