Death Comes Again very sudden death occurred in our city last Friday evening taking from these mortal shores Lewis Richardson. The subject was about 47 years of age and was apparently a stout and hearty man, but was taken ill Thursday afternoon and died Friday evening.
Mr. Richardson had been driving stage between Blackwell and Kildare for the past year, and made his usual trip Thursday, the day on which he was stricken by the fatal disease, which caused his sudden death. We have not been able to learn the nature of the disease of which he died.
