St. Charles Squibs

Mr. S. W. Richey, father of F. M. and Arthur Richey of this place died Tuesday, Sept. 3d, of heart disease, while attending the county fair at Osceola. He had gone to the fair with his sons who had some fine stock to place on exhibition, and seemed to be enjoying better health than he had for some time past. Little did he think when he started away, that he was bidding a last good-by to those he left behind. But he was in the clutches of that disease which comes when least expected, and his case was no exception.

The remains were taken to Norwalk for interment, where he has lived for many years. He was a good upright citizen and his death will be regretted by all who knew him.

Coordinator's note: First name taken from gravestone. From census records, it appears that the two sons, Francis and Arthur, lived in Virginia Township, Warren County. They probably frequented St. Charles because it was their closest town of any size.
