Comrade Samuel L. Richards died at his home in Stafford County, Va., on January 13. Comrade Richards moved to Texas in 1859, and at the beginning of the war enlisted in "Terry's Texas Rangers," and made a brave and faithful soldier to the close. He returned to his home in Milam County, Tex., after the surrender, where he lived until a few years since, when he moved back to his old home in Stafford County.
