52 Relatives: Everett Glenn Richmond (1875-1917) of Connecticut and Massachusetts

 I have posted over 500 genealogical sketches of  my ancestors back through the 7th great-grandparents - see the list in 52 Ancestors Biographies.  

I started a new weekly series called "52 Relatives" to document the lives of siblings of my ancestors with relatively short sketches with events and source citations.  They deserve a sketch also - they were integral parts of the lives of my ancestral families.  I will post the sketches on my Ancestry Member Tree and in the FamilySearch Family Tree. 

                                               =================================

"Everett G. Richmond

"Everett G. Richmond, ill with pneumonia for just a week, died at 2:45 on Thursday morning at his home in the Mashentuck district.  From the first his illness was of a violent nature and his condition became so critical within a short time as almost to preclude hope for his recovery.  He was 41 years of age.

"Mr. Richmond was born in Putnam, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Richmond.  Practically of his life had been spent in this vicinity.  Sixteen years ago he was married to Miss Ida Fiske, daughter of Mrs. Mary Jane Fiske of this town.  Mrs. Richmond survives her husband with two children, Juliette, 5, and Everett G., 3.  He also leaves his father, resident in Putnam, and the following sisters and brothers: Mrs. Annie Pickford, Clinton, Mass.; Mrs. Grace Shaw, Fitchburg, Mass.; Mrs. Bessie Seaver, Leominster, Mass.; and Emily of California; Edward of Leominster, Mass."
