David Albert was the last surviving member of a family of eight children of the late James and Eliza Richardson who came to America from England and Scotland in the early fifties. They pioneered across the states until 1855 when they arrived at Dyersville, IA., where he was born on June 14, 1856. While he was still a baby, his parents resumed their journey and upon reaching Delaware county purchased a farm along the banks of Plum Creek two and one half miles east of Earlville. This remained the family home for more than thirty five years. Here he received his education along with his brothers at the rural schools. In young manhood he was united in marriage with Miss Harriett Ham, at Manchester, Ia., and soon after they made their home on the Richardson parental farm until the death of his parents. They then came to Earlville, where they built a residence in the west end of town which they sold three years later to the late J. C. Nieman and returned to the country to live. In 1909 they purchased a farm, in the vicinity of White Lake, S.D. which they sold in 1912 and moved to Sheridan, Mo. During the next sixteen years they lived also at Savannah and Rae, Mo. where he united with the Christian church at that place. In 1928 they returned to Iowa and about two years ago purchased their present home in this city. One year ago he was stricken with paralysis which disabled him for weeks, but from which he recovered sufficiently to get about with the aid of crutches. Ten days before his death he sustained a second stroke which he could not combat and all that medical aid and loving care could do for him was of no avail, and at the hour stated he passed into the realm where pain is unknown. One daughter Effie, Mrs. Ernest Dettbarn, was born to them, who with the widow and two grandchildren are left to mourn the passing of a devoted husband and father. Four brothers who preceded him in death are James, John, Henry and Walter. A sister, Martha, died at the age of 12 years. In the death of Dave Richardson the community has lost a worthy citizen, a good neighbor and a loyal friend. Funeral services were held from the M. E. church on Sunday afternoon at two o'clock.

E. Church at two o'clock Sunday afternoon for David Richardson, age seventy-six, who died at his home at one-thirty o'clock Friday afternoon after several weeks illness. One year ago he became the victim of a stroke of paralysis, which left him helpless for many weeks, but from which he rallied and with the aid of crutches, was able to be about again. About ten days ago he sustained a second stroke, which he could not combat, and all that medical aid and loving care could do was of no avail. The Rev. L. C. Smith, local pastor, officiated. A mixed quartet composed of Mrs. H. A. Bergman, Mrs. Martha Liebe, Ed. Irmscher, and Ben Holscher, with Miss Ruth Klaus as accompanist, sang, "Have Thine Own Way", "In The Sweet By And By", and "Safe In The Arms of Jesus".

Pioneering across the states they landed at Dyersville in 1856, where he was born on June 14, 1856. While he was still a baby his parents moved into Delaware county, and purchased a farm, on the banks of Plum Creek, about two and one-half miles east of Earlville, which remained the family home for thirty-five years. On Oct. 18, 1886, he was united in marriage with Miss Harriet Ham at Manchester, Iowa: and with his bride took up their residence on the Richardson parental farm until the death of his parents.

In 1900 they purchased a farm near White Lake, South Dakota, which they sold in 1912, and moved to Sheridan, MO.
