William Richards was born in Pennsylvania and moved with his family to locations such as Harrisburg, Danville & Columbia, PA; Cape Elizabeth, ME; and Knoxville & Oliver Springs, TN. While in Maine, William married Margaret Williams. The family settled in Oliver Springs, Tennessee in the early 1880's. William (with his father and brothers) had a hotel with mineral springs. Living in Oliver Springs for the rest of their lives William and Margaret raised their children. Tragedy struck them with the early death of two children. After both William and Margaret had passed away was when the most tragic event struck their family. That, though, will be for my next post. (The picture is of Margaret Williams Richards in the middle, then L to R: Ann, Mary, Margaret and Joseph)
