Dr. W. T. Richmond Dies at Son’s Home

Dr. W. T. Richmond, of Edna, Tex., father of Dr. J. M. Richmond, of El Paso, died Friday morning at 10:40 o’clock, following an attack of heart trouble at the home of his son, 1507 North Kansas street.

Dr. Richmond had been visiting his son in this city for several weeks and was apparently enjoying the best of health.

Dr. Richmond had resided in Edna for the past 10 years, being a prominent physician of that place. Prior to his residence in Edna, he had lived in Manor, Chaves county, Texas, for 25 years. He was a member of the United Confederate Veterans, having been a member of the 9th Mississippi volunteers during the civil war.

Besides his son, Dr. J. M. Richmond, of El Paso, the deceased is survived by a wife, now in Edna; five daughters, at present residing in various cities of Texas, and two sons. The daughters are Mrs. Atlas Jones, of El Paso; Mrs. M. C. Fristoe, of Austin; Mrs. C. T. Callahan, of Galveston; Mrs. Robert Wolf, of Dallas, and Mrs. H. J. Alford, of Mattese, Tex. The sons, who live in Edna, are Robert D. Richmond and William T. Richmond.

Funeral arrangements have not yet been made. It is probable that the remains will be taken back to Edna for burial,

Death of Dr. W. T. Richmond

Dr. W. T. Richmond died yesterday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Atlas Jones of this city, after an illness which confined him to his bed for more than a month.

Deceased, who was 73 years of age, was born in Marshall county, Mississippi. At the outbreak of the war between the states, he enlisted in the Confederate army and served for four years, participating in the great battles of the Tennessee campaign.

Following the war, he studied medicine at Tulane university, where he was a classmate of the late Dr. Charles T. Race, whose death occurred in this city some months ago.

After graduating, Dr. Richmond practiced his profession at Ranchatula, La., until he moved to Manor, Travis county, Texas, in 1882, where he practiced his profession until 1904, when he moved to Edna, Jackson county, Texas, where he since lived and practiced his profession up to the beginning of his last illness.

He leaves two children, Mrs. Atlas Jones and Dr. J. M. Richmond of this city, and Mrs. Henry Fristol of Austin, Texas, by his first marriage, with Mary E. Wilson, who was the daughter of Dr. George Wilson of Coldwarter, Miss., and he leaves other children in Edna and other places in Texas by his second marriage, with Narcissus Curtiss of Virginia, who survived him.

He was a faithful member of the M. E. church, South, and of the Masonic fraternity.

The remains will be interred at Edna, Texas.

Dr. Richmond’s life was one full of usefulness and unselfish service for others. He was a quiet, gentle, strong, great character, revered by all who knew him.

Monroe Richmond
El Paso Doctor, Formerly of Edna, Accident Victim

(Edna Herald)

Monday night about nine o'clock R. L. Bronaugh received a phone call from El Paso stating that his brother- in-law, Dr. Monroe Richmond, one of the most prominent physicians in the Western part of the state, was killed that day in an automobile accident. Mr. Bronaugh left Tuesday afternoon for El Paso.

Dr. Richmond was a resident of Edna for many years where he practiced his profession and where he was highly esteemed and loved by a large number of people. He came here soon after graduating from medical college and built up a large and lucrative practice. He married Miss Marie Bronaugh, daughter of the late Dr. Bronaugh, who with one son, Richmond Bronaugh of El Paso, survive him.

A number of years ago he and his family moved to El Paso and it is said he perhaps enjoyed the largest practice of any physician in that city.
