General Notes: Husband - Hiram Morris Richmond


He entered Allegheny College after receiving a thorough preparatory education, and upon completing his studies there, decided upon a legal career for which he fitted himself by reading law with his father, who was recognized as one of the leading criminal lawyers of that time. Upon thoroughly preparing himself for his chosen profession, Mr. Richmond was admitted to practice in May, 1880. He became associated in business partnership with his father under the firm name of A. B. Richmond & Son, and was considered a brilliant and promising young attorney. He had a large and increasing clientele in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, but after devoting only four years of his life to active practice, his health failed and he was compelled to retire from business. Mr. Richmond retained his membership in his college fraternity, Delta Tau Delta, and was a communicant of the Episcopal church, as were also his wife and daughter.


General Notes: Wife - Margaret Fowler


She was born at Newcastle, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, and attended school in Burlington, New Jersey, finally graduating from Pennsylvania Female College, Pittsburgh, in the class of 1877. Her cultural and educational attainments were unusual, and she was a woman of strong influence in the community in which she lived. For over fourteen years she served as treasurer of the City Hospital at Meadville, and she was an active member of Christ Episcopal Church, in which she was choir mother for twelve years. She also devoted a part of her time to travel.
