Mr. Richardson was >orn in Iowa February 28, 184: , from where he moved to Quincy, 111., while a babe. At the age of nine years he was brought by his people across the plains arriv ing in Oregon late in the fall of 1852. The family settled near Monroe.

John Miles Davis was born at Little Gumwater, near the city of Baltimore, Md„ November 27, 1830, and died November 9, 1913, at 6:30 a.m., aged 82 years, 11 months and 13 days.

He has been a member of the A. F. & A. M. for more than 40 years, in which he had great pleasure until age compelled him to cease his regular attend ance at the meetings of the order. He was a good neighbor and endeared hiself to those who came in close touch with him. He was a loving father and the children show their devotion to him by traveling many hundreds ot‘ miles and all being with him on this occasion.He was also a devoted husband and mindful of the comforts of her who has shared with him those joys and sorrows. The passing of Mr. Datis closes a long and active career of one of the very few pioneers who immigrated with ox-team from ocean to ocean— Balti more, Md., to Portland, Ore.,— successfully overcoming the numerous attending dangers during those early days of real republic builders.
