Entered into rest at the home of her sister, Mrs. Matthew Ruland, on Main street, Thursday afternoon, May 19th, 1910, Mrs. Nellie Richards. The citizens of Harpursville [Broome Co., NY] and vicinity had known, and many were intimately acquainted with the deceased; for in this town she was born, in this village she was married, and her life was an open book showing unreservedly the beautiful character and many good qualities she possessed. She was affectionate, bright and winning in her ways, so that friendship's circle to her was a large one. Born on a farm, her childhood was spent amid the activities of life and the beauties of nature; the family moving to the village she soon became a favorite and developed into womanhood. Entering the matrimonial relations, she left father and mother, and with her husband made a new home, beautifying it with the beautiful devotion of true womanhood and lighting this peaceful retreat with the lamp of love. Here for a number of years the happy couple, with the aged father of the husband, spent a life of contentment and pleasure, every wish expressed, or desire unexpressed, was granted by husband and father. Time passed on and disease entered this home and the wife and daughter became an invalid and for months this patient spirit battled with the disease. Everything a devoted husband, a kind and considerate father-in-law, a loving sister, at whose home a portion of her last days were spent, and the love of her own parents with the sympathy of friends and neighbors, was done for the comfort of our friend. But a physician's skill and the loyal devotion and care given her had no avail; the light went out. The journey of life with her was 37 years. Her future was full of promise, and we dare not ask why she was taken from us in her prime, unless, as flowers are picked before the frost finds them that we may not witness their decay. It is sad, indeed, to see one so well equipped for life taken from us, when hope lingered and a desire remained to live, there was no long standing on the border land; for death came as the sunset dies along the hills when the day is over. Nellie was the daughter of David and Julia Everett Stevens, and was born March 4, 1873. About ten years ago she was united in the bonds of wedlock to Harry L. Richards of Maple street, this village. Before her marriage she was an attendant on divine worship at the Methodist church in this village. She identified herself with the church in all its interests; was a member of the choir and for several years was actively engaged in Epworth league work. After her marriage she frequently attended St. Luke's church [Harpursville, Broome Co., NY], engaging earnestly in the service. Nellie was a good woman and died in the Christian faith. No one had a pleasanter home and enjoyed its comforts more than the deceased. A kind husband, and her husband's father was unusually considerate, supplying much of the good things of this life to the one he loved with a father's devotion. Alone in their home, Harry and his father, George Richards, have the sympathy of friends and neighbors. The deceased is survived by father and mother, one sister Mrs. M.F. Ruland, and one brother, Arthur F. Stevans, besides a large circle of relatives, friends and neighbors who sincerely mourn the loss of the departed. The funeral occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M.F. Ruland, on Sunday afternoon, the assembly was large, eager to pay due respect to the deceased, for memory will prove precious. Rev. R.E. Austin of the Methodist church, assisted by Rev. O.A. Hubbell of the Baptist church, officiated, and the interment was in the village cemetery. The floral offerings were many and profuse, a due tribute to the departed one.
