Notes

Emigrated to Texas in 1879. Moved to St. Louis in 1891.

Wrote a poem called Insomnia at 89.

He was chairman of the board for the Boyd-Richardson Co. when he died. It is presumed that this company is no longer in operation, since it appears to have no online presence, but it can be found referenced in legal records as late as 1981.
