I could not find an obit in 1902 for Margaret Richardson, although the Benton County Cemetery Preservation group shows that she did die in 1902 and was buried in Bloomfield cemetery. I found the following obit for W.I.Richardson (Gentry Journal-Advance, 9/10/15): W.I. Richardson was born in South Carolina Nov. 10, 1832, died at the home of his son, Thomas, Sept. 2, 1915 of general debility and old age. he was married to Maggie Brockinaw July 25, 1869, who preceeded him to the beyond some years ago. Four children remain of this union, Robert of California, Della Wilson of Tahlequah, Okla., Thomas of near Bloomdield and William of Gentry. Capt. Richardson, as he was call, was a highly respected citizen, a life-long Mason and his memory is cherished by a large circle of friends. The funeral was held at the Bloomfield church Sep. 3, conducted by Eld. O.L. Sumner of the Christian church. Burial in the Bloomfield cemetery. Obit for Robert Richardson from the Gentry Journal-Advance, 4/20/33: Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon for Mr. Robert Richardson, brother of Mr. Bill Richardson of Genry, who died Wednesday evening, April 12th at Siloam Springs. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. A.H. DeLaniey, pastor of the Methodist church here, at Mloomfield under the direction of Carpenter Brothers. The Masonic Lodge No. 222 took charge after Rev. DeLaney had completed his part of the service. Burial was at the Bloomfield cemetery. Robert Richardson, son of W.I. and Margaret Richardson, was born January 25th, 1873 at Cane Hill, Washington county, Arkansas. At the age of eight years he moved to Bloomfield where he grew to manhood among many of his friends, some of whom were present at the funeral. On November 29th, 1900 he was united in marriage with Miss Nettie Clard and their home was in the Bloomfield community for a short time after which they went to Dorris, California where they reared their family, six children having been born to them, two of whom preceded their father in death. Surviving of the immediate family are his wife, three sons and one daughter, two brothers, Tom and Bill, and one sister, Mrs. Joe Wilson. A short time ago Bob was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason by Gentry Lodge No. 222. Besides the relatives Mr. Richardson leaves a great number of friends to mourn his departure. I hope that this is of some help.
