OBITUARY
THE WINSLOW DISPATCH
WINSLOW, PIKE COUNTY, INDIANA
SEPTEMBER 10, 1915
The death angel visited our town last Friday evening and took from our midst Nancy A. Richeson the wife of Speaker Richeson. Mrs. Richeson was formerly Nancy A. Corn, the daughter of David and Elizabeth Corn. Deceased was born June 15, 1853, being at the time of her death 62 years, 2 months 19 days old. She was afflicted with that terrible disease general paralysis, and was a patient sufferer for about 5 months until death relieved her. She had a great desire to get well but realizing that she could not, talked with the members of her family telling them she was all right and ready to go, and desiring them to so live as to meet her as an unbroken family in heaven. Her one great fear was that she would choke to death. One night she asked those who were watching by her bedside to pray that she would not choke to death.
When death came there was not a struggle, just like she was going to sleep.
Mrs. Richeson was noted for her work with the sick and suffering. No weather so bad or night so dark but she was ready to go when called or knew she was needed. That she was held in great respect was manifested Sunday afternoon by the large concourse of people who gathered at the Odd Fellows cemetery to pay their last tributes of respect, where the funeral service was conducted by Rev. C.E. Barrett. People from Oakland City, Petersburg, Winslow, Arthur, Stendal, Pleasantville and surrounding vicinities were in attendance.
Mrs. Richeson leaves two children, Mrs. Elmer Wood [Adella Merle] and Willie Richeson who realize there is a vacancy that can never be filled by another, one sister, Mrs. J.L. Hemenway, one brother, William Corn and three half brothers, Redin, Joseph and Polk Corn, besides many other relatives and friends too numerous to mention. The family while knowing words cannot express their thankfulness to the many friends who were so good and kind during Mrs. Richeson's sickness and death, want them to know that they are as grateful as is possible for words to express.
