Mr. R. a son of James W. and Eliza (West) Richeson, the former from Kentucky, the latter from Missouri, was born in Randolph County, August 5, 1842. He grew up on his father's farm in the county, and had instilled into him from his childhood the taste for that life, but upon arriving at years of discretion, he had not at once an opportunity of carrying out his plans. for being heart and soul with the unfortunate South, he could not resist striking a blow in her defense, so shouldered a musket and , enlisting with Price, he fought bravely and wll. In 1870 he began farming for himself, and now is the mater of a nice property, consisting of 240 acres of land. This is well improved, and his surroundings reflect on every side the industry and energy of the owner. He has also so valuable stock, and "acts well his part" of an enterprising and progressive farmer. Mr. Richeson is a man of family, having married February 23, 1871, a native of the county, Miss Samanta, daughter of William and Catherine Stark. His children are Ann Eliza, James Walter, Maggie May, Charlie, Mary Beatrice and Joseph Elza. Mrs. Richeson is a member of the Silver Creed Baptist Church, and is one those household angels whose presence seems to sanctify a home.
