He had been in ill health for several months, but a few weeks ago began to get better and was quite hopeful of regaining his health, but Wednesday night he was taken much worse than ever before.

From that time his home was in Jackson county. They settled on a farm but in 1876 Richard F. moved to Seymour. In 1852 he was married to Eliza Stanfield, who died in 1868. To them wrre born four children, Mrs. Nancy Ebaugh, deceased, Charles W., of Denver, Col., W.J., of Sioux City, Iowa, and Mrs. Mary Floeharty, of Seymour. In 1870 he was married to Mrs. Amanda L. Schwing, and to them were born two children, Clara Belle, who died December 16, 1879, and Herbert F., who is still at home and has been his father's assistant in business for several years.

Some years ago he was elected city marshal, which office he filled with credit to himself and the people. He held other positions of honor and trust. He was a member of the K of P lodge and the Odd Fellows.
