 Athens Post (15 April 1880)
 [From 'The Enlightening Eighties' compiled & published by Faye Acton Axford, extracted by James Croley Smith]:
 Mrs. Sam Redus (Aunt Polly Richardson) was in town. She was the mother of the gallant Major John B. Richardson of New Orleans, one of the commanders of the famous Washington Artillery, and of James W. Richardson of San Antonio. These were all that were left of the once large family that lived in Athens where Trinity School stood in 1880. (7 December 1881): The building of the Trinity Hall, the colored school building now in process of erection, will soon necessitate the removal of the old frame building now in front and to the west of it. This house is an old landmark. In it was born the distinguished soldier whose career will reflect undying honor on the town of Athens, Col. John B. Richardson, Lt. Col. of the world famed Washington Artillery of New Orleans, now one of the most honored and beloved citizens of that city. Many pleasant memories are cherished of delightful gatherings in that hospitable home. And, too, one of the saddest tragedies our town ever knew...when one of the most beautiful girls in our section, Lou Richardson, died. (19 May 1881): A dedication of the monument to General Stonewall Jackson in the Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans by the Louisiana Division of the Association of the Army of Northern Virginia was held. General Fitzhugh Lee spoke and Athens' native, John B. Richardson, president of the Association, received the monument with a beautiful address. His speech is printed in this issue. (14 December 1882): Mrs. Mary A. Redus, mother of Col. John B. Richardson, died at the New Orleans home of her son on December 6th.
