52 Ancestors Friday: Julia E. (White) Richmond (1848-1913)

Amy Johnson Crow suggested a weekly blog theme of "52 Ancestors" in her blog post Challenge:  52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks on the No Story Too Small blog.  Here is my ancestor biography for week #6:

Julia E. (White) Richmond (1848-1913) is #11 on my Ancestor Name List, and is my great-grandmother.  She married #10, Thomas Richmond (1848-1917). I am descended through:

*  their daughter, #5 Alma Bessie Richmond (1882-1962) married #4 Frederick Walton Seaver (1876-1942)
*  their son, #2 Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983) married Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002)
*  me, #1 Randall J. Seaver (1943-....)


To create this post, I made an Individual Summary report in RootsMagic 6, then saved it into an RTF file.  I then copied and pasted the Person, the Individual Fact List, the Marriages/Children, the General Notes, and the Source Citations into this blog post.  Unfortunately, the source citations superscripts did not survive this process as superscripts, so I put them in brackets in the Individual Facts list below, and without brackets in the Source Citation list.  I have images of many of these records, but have not included them in this blog post due to the length of the post.  Many of them have been transcribed or shown in Amanuensis Monday and Treasure Chest Thursday posts.

 An obituary (undated newspaper clipping, probably about 9 October 1913), was published in the Putnam, Connecticut area [10]:

"Mrs. Juliett (White) Richmond died Wednesday morning at her home No. 6 Church Street, Putnam, aged 66 years after an illness of more than a year.

"She was born here and was daughter of Henry A. and Amy (Oatley) White.  Her early years were spent here.  In 1868 she married to Thomas Richmond, since which time they have resided in Elmville, Putnam and other places.  For the past three years, Mr. Richmond has been an overseer in the Putnam Woolen company's mill.

"Mrs. Richmond is survived by her husband, three sons and four daughters:  Everett of Putnam, Mrs. Annie Pickford and James Richmond of Clinton, Mass., Mrs. Grace Shaw, Edward Richmond, and Mrs. Bessie Seaver of Leominster, Mass., and Mrs. Emily Taylor of San Diego, Cal. There are also nearly twenty grandchildren.  Henry White of Danielson is a brother of the deceased and Mrs. William Buck of Oxford, Mass. and Mrs. Emily Bastow of this place are surviving sisters.

"Mrs. Richmond had always retained many old acquaintances and friends here, by whom she was highly esteemed, and who will greatly miss her occasional visits, which served to keep alive the ties of former years.

"The funeral was in Putnam Saturday and was attended by relatives from this place."

Another newspaper clipping reads:

"The Women's Auxiliary (of St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Putnam CT) will meet with Mrs. George L. Padgett, 87 Fremont street, Thursday afternoon, April 16.

"On Easter morning was used for the first time the lecture Bible, given in memory of Juliett (White) Richmond, late wife of Thomas Richmond, Lay Chairman of the Executive Committee.  The book is according to the American Revised Version, the most accurate translation ever made into any language, and recently authorized for use in the Church.  It is bound in full leather, purple in color, with the inscription in gilt on the front cover.  Mrs. Richmond was a faithful communicant of St. Philip's, constant in attendance at services, and active in the work of the church."

The Richmond gravestone inscription in Grove Street Cemetery in Putnam, Connecticut says [8-9]:

THOMAS RICHMOND
1848-1917
HIS WIFE
JULIET RICHMOND
1848-1913
THEIR SON
