It's great to finally know what happened to my GG-Grandpa RICHARDSON; you see, until a few weeks ago, the only thing I knew for sure was that he had moved his family from Central Texas to somewhere in California; fortunately, I found a query posted by another Richardson Family Researcher at www.familysearch.org which led me to Merced County! It's ironic that this should be my GG-Grandpa Richardson's final resting place since back in the 1970s, I passed through there on US Highway 140 at least a dozen times on my way to Yosemite. By the way, is that really cool old train depot in Merced still standing? I always enjoyed checking it out when our bus would make a stop there (I remember that the bus station was located across the street from the Train Depot). I would really like to have the marriage notice of Leo Richardson that you mentioned, or for that matter, any family records that are available; he was one of the nine children of my maternal GG-Grandpa Lorenzo Dow & Lola A. McCarver Richardson; the other 7 are "Duke", Ethel A., LeRoy, Lida, Margie, Nell, & "Uncle Tiny", & a unnamed infant son (b. & d. Feb. 18, 1908; as far as I know, only my G-Grandmother, Ethel A. Richardson (b. Jan. 20, 1896; d. Nov. 17, 1945) stayed in Texas; she married Beecher C. Cleveland (b. Nov. 4, 1884; d. Aug. 8, 1943) of Eastland Co., and had 12 children (8 of which lived to adulthood), including my 87 year old maternal Grandmother, Mae Adeline Cameron Black (b. Jan. 16, 1915) of Commerce, Hunt Co., TX; as a matter of fact, she will turn 88 in 2 days; the info that you have furnished about her maternal grandfather will be a nice Birthday present for her!
