Mrs. Catharine Richards closed her life Feb. 16, 1883, at the age of 73 years. She was a native of Rockingham county, Virginia, where she was born in 1809. In youth she was brought by her parents to Licking county, Ohio, where, on the 18th of December, 1884 [sic], she was married to Joseph Richards who survived her. In 1836 she came with her husband to Indiana, and lived in Allen county, on Eel River, about six months, and in March, 1837, came to Noble county, where she and her husband cleared up and improved a farm where they lived 36 years, in Swan township. She was well known to all the early settlers, and was possessed of those virtues that were so common among the pioneers of that day. She was the mother of seven children, four of whom are living. At the time of her death she was living in Churubusco. But her remains were brought to Noble county, and buried in the cemetery near the place where she first settled, and while her death occurred in Whitley county, yet her dust reposes in Noble county, and we claim a place for her name in the archives of our society. She was a daughter of Adam Fulk who lived to be over 100 years of age and whose death was reported to you about ten year ago.
