Obituary Online notes for Julia Ann Frances (Spouse 1)
Information below was provided by a granddaughter:
"She was Joseph Turner Richardson's first wife (married 4-22-1896, on her birthday) and died of a blood clot when their daughter, Bessie, was an infant. They had only been married about fourteen months when she died. Her tombstone is a narrow obelisk about six feet tall. Several years ago, a tree limb fell on it and broke it in three pieces. They were left lying near her grave. It has since been repaired and stands upright at her grave."

Tombstone is a tall obelsik that has been repaired and is hard to read in places. It indicates that Julia was somehow related to J T Richardson, but the part that shows how is missing. [38127]
