Thus closes the life of Brother Williard Richards He has been a man of strict integrity to his brethren & his God I have travled with him many miles both in England & America we have been warm associates many times. He has been the Historian of the Church many years He stood in Carthage Jail while the bullets flew like hail around him & Joseph & Hiram two prophets of God were martered by his side & brother Taylor fell pearced with many balls but did not die He has been a great Counsellor in the Church & Kingdom of God And He has died a mighty man in Israel O what sweet counsel he has given me from time to time & many of the saints of God He has posse[sse]d a strong mind a mighty intellect & a valuable peculiar combination of intellect & such another the world can Hardly produce He is the first man that has died a natural death in this Church & kingdom from the first Presidency or Twelve Apostles all that have died before have been martered
