Old Settler Dead. On last Saturday Mrs. Eliza Richards passed away at her home out on the plank road three miles east of this city. She was sixty years of age and was one of the three first white women who landed on the Bay thirty years ago. She with her husband first settled on the place at the head of the bay and now owned by Mr. Stokes. Mrs. Richards was born in Champlain county, Ohio. The funeral occurred Sunday from the residence, Rev. Frescoln officiating, and was largely attended, after which the remains were placed to rest in the California Creek cemetery.
