Mrs. Anna Braddock Rickey
Mrs. Anna Braddock Rickey was born in Richhill township, Greene county, Pennsylvania, April 13th, 1836, and died very suddenly, at the residence of her grandson, Murray Minton, two doors from her house in Graysville, Greene county, Pa., March 1st, 1915. Mrs. Rickey was a daughter of David G. and Susan Crow Braddock, deceased. Her father was born in Richhill township in 1807, upon a farm which has been in the possession of the family more than one hundred years. Francis Braddock, Sr., grandfather of Mrs. Rickey, was one of the pioneer settlers of Greene county, taking up the land when the western part of the county was a dense wilderness. The maternal grandfather of Mrs. Rickey, Jacob Crow, was also one of the first settlers of the county, five of his children, two sons and three daughters, being murdered by the Indians.
Mrs. Rickey was a woman of upright character, respected and loved by her friends and neighbors. She united with the Unity Presbyterian church fifty-nine years ago and had been a faithful member ever since. She was always willing to help those in need, and she often sent provisions to those that were in want, and no one but the recipient knew of it. She was united in marriage June 25th, 1856, by the late Samuel Jeffries, of Waynesburg, to William S. Rickey, who still survives. Two children also survive her, Mrs. John Minton, of Harveys R.D. 1, and Mrs. Dora Pratt, at home. She is also survived by eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, by four brothers and one sister, David A., Jacob M., Byron M., and John C Braddock and Mrs. W.H. Huffman.
Her funeral was held on Wednesday, March 3rd in the Unity Presbyterian church in Graysville. The services were conducted by her former pastor, Rev. Jacob Ruble, of West Alexander, assisted by the present pastor, Rev. Roy Kiskaddon. The large concourse of people in attendance was evidence of the high esteem in which she was held. Interment in the Braddock, or Unity cemetery.
