Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, February 15, 1883 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - In Richland, February 7, 1883, Azel W. Richardson, of dropsy, aged 82 years. The deceased was born in Bristol, Addison County, Vermont, December 12, 1800, and married there at the age of nineteen. In 1825, he moved his family to the town of Richland. Having sent them by the way of Albany and Rome, on the canal, he pursued his way on foot through the wilderness. On arriving here, he settled on a place which is about three-fourths of a mile east of Richland Station, which he held in his position until his death. As he was one of the early pioneers, he had a hard struggle to support his family, while he was one of the most active in cutting the dense pine forests that surrounded his home. In 1858 he lost his wife, and shortly after went to Castile, Wayne County, and there married again. Losing this wife, also, he came back to Richland and lived with his son, Heman, up to the time of his death. He was a good man and fully ripe for heaven. Many warm friends and dear relatives mourn the loss.
