Three years ago not being equal to the care of the home, Mrs. Rickards went to live with her brother, William at Windsor Forks, and continued there until October last, when she came to her daughter's, Mrs. Bowes in Windsor. Here she was tenderly cared for. Her strength gradually declined, she awaited her appointed time in the patience of hope, and following a few days of serious illness, she bade farewell to earthly friends and scenes on Jan. 26, 1931. The funeral services were conducted on Jan. 29, by her pastor, Rev. J. W. Bartlett, assisted by Revs. Dr. Campbell and Astbury.
