MR. JOHN I. RICHARDS. REMSEN, ONEIDA COUNTY, NEW YORK.
Mehefin 25ain,1878, yn nhŷ ei fab Griffith, yn 82 mlwydd o'i oedran, John I. Richards.Daeth i'r wlad hon dros dri ugain mlynedd yn ôl, ac felly yr oedd yn un o'r rhai hynaf yn mysg ein hen sefydlwyr. Daeth yma o Sir Gaernarfon.
Yr oedd yn gymydog caredig, yn ddyn gonest a chywir, ac yn ddarllenwr mawr iawn ar y Beibl. Duw fendithio ei blant sydd yn galaru ar ei ôl.
Claddwyd ef dydd Sadwrn yn mynwent Prospect, pryd y gweinyddwyd ar yr achlysur gan y Parchn. J. Seth Jones (B.) yn Gymraeg a R. Evaus yn Saesneg.
