Son of Henry Richardson and Elizabeth (Yeamans) Richardson. Husband of (1) Mary (Hogg) Richardson, and (2) Addie (Lort) Richardson.
"William T. Richardson a retired merchant of Charlestown, this county, died at his home on Saturday, February 27, in his eighty-eighth year. He was born in Charlestown in 1821, where he has always made his home, and conducted a general merchandise store for the past sixty years. He was appointed postmaster during Lincoln's administration, and served continuously until he tendered his resignation about one year ago, on account of failing sight. In politics he was a staunch Republican, and though never having held office, was frequently solicited to do so. During his leisure he was a great reader and among newspapers always looked forward to the Cecil Whig to which he was one of the early subscribers. Mr. Richardson was a man of matchless character, honest, liberal to a fault, and in the surrounding neighborhood will be greatly missed, as his hand was ever ready to help the needy. He is survived by three daughters- Mrs. N.B. Morrison, of Wilmington, Del; Mrs. J.W. Logan, of Charlestown, and Mrs. W.D. Lowden, of New York, and a sister, Mrs. John B. Graham, of Charlestown, and five grand-children. His funeral was held on Wednesday, March 3, at 11:30 o'clock; interment was made at Charlestown Cemetery."
