CFB met Robert Miner, who lives in the Richardson homestead in Liberty Twp. Chuck talked with him and Robert told him that the house is a plank style and is rumored to be built on the site of an old log house. Ira's obituary says that he "rests on a hill overlooking the place of his youth."
Israel moved from Windsor, VT to Great Bend, PA. He was a school teacher for several years. He married Lucy Adams of Franklin Forks, about 10 miles downstream from the Richardsons.
