Obituary

Elizabeth Jane Richardson daughter of Samuel and Rebecca Windle, was born to Virginia May 2, 1833, and departed this life Dec. 86 years, 7 months and 4 days. At a very early age her father came to Laporte cbunty, Ind., where she lived until 1883, when she, with her family, came to Rensselaer, where she had since lived, except for the time she lived with her daughter at various places where her son-in-Uw was stationed in the ministry. She was united in marriage with Daniel L. Richardson April 23, 1853. To this union three daughters were born, two of whom preceded her in death, Sarah, who passed away in 1877, and Mary D. Paxton, in April of this year, and Rebecca E. of this city, who survives her. She was a lifelong Methodist, having joined that sect in childhood. Her faith in God and His word was constant and a great comfort in her declining years. The reading of her Bible was as regular as the routine duties of the day. She was kind and generous almost to a fault. / She was not only active in her church duties but in doing little deeds of love and helpfulness to the suffering and needy. Surely the Master has said to her, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the joys of thy Lord.” ••
