Richmond Justice S. Richmond, aged 87 years, more than thirty of which were spent in Story County, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. F.P. Youngblood, in Marshalltown, Monday January 12 of pneumonia after an illiness of two weeks, but being bedfast only five days. The decresed is survived by six daughters and one son: Mrs. George Sheldon, of David City, Nebraska., Mrs. J.W. Shenkle of Collins; Mrs. F.P. Youngblood, of Marshalltown : Mrs E. Kelly of Manchester; Mrs Jacob Day, and Mrs. Wm. Miller, of Goldendale, Wash,.and Mr. Alonzo Richmond, of Rhodes. The remains were brought to Rhodes, Tuesday Jan.13, where funeral services were held at 2 o'clock. conducted by Rev. Bracket of the M.E. Church. Interment was made in Eden Cemetery. Mr. Richmond was born in Scharey (sic Schoharie) County, NY. March 27 1815 moved with his family to LaSalle County, IL. in 1852. Here his wife died December 22, 1863. He came to Story County in 1868 and bought a large farm where the Willow Creek Church stands, making this his home for a quarter of a century. He gave the ground upon which the Willow Creek Schoolhouse was built, it being the first one in the township. When a young man he professed Christ and united with the Missionary Baptist Church, and later with Evangelical. He ever lived according to his profession, endeavoring to conform his daily actions to the will of his Master. When after a well spent life, his body was racked with pain, death came as a welcome visitor to this good old man. I never know what I will run across next she had nothing organized at all. My Husband and I are going to Germany May 5th for 3 weeks. So when we get back I will really dig into things and try to make some sense out of it all and send you a packet of things I am so confused about. Maybe you can help sort it out. Melissa's sister Pauline told me they ran across a lot of Pictures and Funeral information at Melissa's house when they were going through things and took it all over to Dads So maybe dad will let me have it for a while and I can see what she has. Maybe some pictures of Justice and other family members.
