Frances C. Richman was born in Macon county, Tenn., June 1, 1829, died April 20, 1897.
She was married to John M. Richman in 1854; professed faith in Christ and joined the Missionary Baptist church in Tennessee in 1854; moved to Kentucky in 1863; to Missouri in 1870; to Arkansas in 1873; joined at the Shady Grove Baptist church. She moved her moved her membership to the First Baptist church of Salem, Ark, where she remained a member until her death....counsellor, advisor, and peacemaker in every community where she lived. She leaves a husband, six children, and a host of friends to mourn their loss. As a servant of God, her humble success speaks more vividly of her acceptance with God now as we draw the curtain of silence o'er her last resting place, we can truthfully say she peacefully rests from her labors and her works do follow.
Her pastor, Eld. W.H. Bowling
