John and Rose Richmond are my g-grandparents. All children were girls.
I recently found Rose's obituary (see below) and photographed her
headstone in Oakwood Cemetery, in Lisbon, ND.
I am trying to get more information about John. This is all I have. Any
help is appreciated.
I have some photos of the family

In Memoriam
------------
The family of John Richmond was called upon Sunday, Dec. 29th, 1914, to
mourn the sudden death of the mother, Rose Richmond, from cerebral
hemorrhage. She was apparently well and about her usual duties when the
Death Angel came and took her from husband and children.
This is an especially sad loss as Mr. Richmond has been an invalid for
some time and unable to do active duty as the head of the family,
Rose Richmond (nee Rose Young) was born at LaCrescent, Minn., May 5,
1867, and was just over 47 years of age at time of death. She was
married to John Richmond in 1887, and the family removed to this section
of the country more than 20 years ago. Six children were born to this
union, of whom survive. Mrs. John Warren, Steele; Mrs. Fred Kraeling,
south of town; Rose, Grace and Olive, Living at home; also a
grandmother, Mrs. Harriet Ketcham, aged 83 years. Mrs. Richmond was a
consistent member of the Catholic church. The funeral was held from
the church, 10 a.m., Wednesday, Dec, 23rd, Father Fogarty officiating as
priest and reciting the masses. John Challey was the funeral director
and the interment was in the Catholic portion of Oakwood cemetery. The
floral offerings indicated the respect and love of family and friends
and the sympathy of the public goes out to the stricken family in their
bereavement
