My mother was Thelma Tina Richards, youngest daughter of Frank Christophe and Emma Lafond Richards. They had five children - Willa Beatrice, Dorila Ursula, Charles, Frank Arnold and my mother. Willa and Charles had children, but Dorila and Frank didn't We were always close to them and some of the Lafond descendant cousins, but I never met any of the Richards line. My grandfather always told my mother not to ask questions about family because "you might find a horse thief." He wouldn't talk about his family at all and he died a few years before I was born. My mother remembers her Aunt Eliza as having the boarding house in Mass. She remembers an Uncle Isaac who went to Ireland and came back 20 years later. The cemetery clerk was the one who said the stone was in the name of Mosher and that Eleanora's maiden name is given as White. It's funny that the request I gave to the Manchester City Clerk produced no information and she claimed to have checked the Concord state records. Frank Richards was a lumberjack for awhile and my mother and her siblings were born all over New England. After they settled back in Manchester where he was born, he became a mason and did brickwork in a lot of the public buildings. Sadly, most are gone now. My mother used to point them out.
On the stone at the Manchester Pine Grove Cemetery: Gabriel Richards 1828-1882 Eleanora Richards 1847-1910 on the front. The back has: Eliza Mosher 1863-1917, Charles H. Parker 1877-1957, wife Nettie 1882- (no death date). On small footstones next to it: Eleanora, Eliza, Nettie, Charles.
Where did you find the Hillsboro notation and are you a relative???
