A member of the old Barley family, Mrs. Catherine Richards, died a few days since in Perry county. The Barley's was one of the oldest families in Greene county, Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Richards parents, John and Hannah Barley, removed to Ohio as long ago as 1805, when Mrs. Richards was eight years of age they settled in Zanesville when the town consisted of only a few log houses. After living in Zanesville a short time, they moved across the river to Putnam, and kept the first hotel in Putnam county. Her parents next moved to Harrison township where she resided until her death. While living in Harrison township, she was married January 5, 1815, to Jacob Richards, who preceded her to the tomb twelve years. Her constant waiting upon him during twenty-one years of affliction previous to his death, during which time he never walked a step, shows her to have been a patient, faithful, sacrificing and loving wife. She united with the Regular Baptist Church when sixteen years of age, and lived a constant and devoted Christian for sixty four years. She was the mother of ten children, seven of whom are now living. She leaves a large number of grandchildren, great-grandchildren and friends who sadly lament her.
