Rev. C.V. Richeson (LOC)

  • Nathan Adams said:
    Pastor of a church in Kansas City. Was accused of murder & being engaged to three women at once! query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F06E2DD1539E333A... Sentenced to death in the murder of Avis Linnell: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B00EEDB153CE633A...
  • lmharnisch said:
    The photo title is mislabeled. It is the Rev. Clarence Virgil Richeson. He was executed May 21, 1912, for poisoning Avis Linnell, a former fiancee who was pregnant, according to news accounts.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks both captainslack and lmharnisch! We'll fix the title in the source data and reload the description.

R.J. Burdette (LOC)

  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    Aha! Finally, an LOC upload with local import for my town! I live in Redondo Beach, CA; and so did R. J. Burdette--his house "Eventide" was still standing when I moved here, but it was demolished in 1999: www.redondobeachhistorical.org/theburdettehouse.htm www.redondobeachhistorical.org/Eventide.htm Robert Jones Burdette (1844-1914) was a Civil War vet, a Baptist minister, humorist, and writer: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Jones_Burdette
  • Arden said:
    pennylrichardsca: Thanks for the interesting history on Robert Jones Burdette's house in Redondo Beach. A photo that confirms that this photo depicts him can be found in a book published by his wife Clara (Robert J. Burdette; his message), that can be seen here: www.archive.org/stream/hismessage00burdrich#page/n5/mode/2up

    Hi, Penny -- do you happen to know my wife's daughter? She also lives in Redondo Beach.
  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    No, but it's a pretty big city for a beach town. Interesting name for a seaside denizen!

    My Grandfather and grandmother would have known this shop as "daddy Curtis's".
  • CailinDeise said:
    Daddy Curtis was a pharmacist who catered for the poor people of that area of Waterford city. He was a lay preacher in the Baptist church and a most genial and affable man. He was a herbalist who went out the country every week with his daughter to gather herbs for his medicines. She carried the herbs home in her small cart that was tethered to her pet goat.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    CailinDeise What lovely "on the ground" information! Thank you. Now have a lovely picture of a goat-drawn cart full of herbs...
