- 1891 new clipping: Clement Richardson birthday party 15 Apr 1891, San Francisco Call...
“The Richardson Birthday Anniversary. There has seldom, if ever, been a more hapy gathering than that which was celebrated on Saturday evening last, the fortieth anniversary of the birth of Mr. Clement Richardson, for many years prominently connected with the Pacific Mail Steamship Company.
“The reception had been arranged by his wife without his knowlege, so that when his numerous friends had assembled at his charming residence on Cortland avenue, Mr. Richardson was taken completely by surprise, but rising to the occasion, he expressed, in a short and pithy speech, his pleasure and deep gratification at this mark of friendship. Some of his allusions to the days of “Auld Lang Syne” brought tears to the eyes of his old-time friends.
“The house was artistically decorated with palms, ferns and marigolds. The floors had ben canvased for cancing and to the music of the PMSS Wolf orchestra the guests merilly spun around, while during the intervals of dancing an impromptu programme of musical selections was rendered. Among the latter was an allegro vivace movement (Op. 62, Rubinstein) for the pianoforte, executed by Mis Angy Richardson; a fantasia for the Hoehm blute, rendered by Mr. Cecil Chesley Renwick, and a bassoon solo by Mr. H. Foxall Beral.
“At midnight the guests adjourned to the dining room, where supper was served by Te-chaunte. Here champagne flowed as freely as the bright and witty bon mots of the genial host, who was the life of the occasion. It was an early morning hour when the guests finally separated.
“Among the guests were: Mr and Mrs Clement Richardson, Mr and Mrs C Chesley Renwick, Mr and Mrs J P Crane, Mr and Mrs Archibald Cook, Mr and Mrs Sullivan, Mr and Mrs Gill, Mr and Mrs Barry, Mr and Mrs Dunmore, Mrs Fannon, Mrs Palmer, Mrs Elliot, MIss Letty, Miss Lee, Miss Gorman, Miss Dody, MIss Elliot, the Misses Angy and Statia Richardson; Mressrs G Richardson, L Richardson, W, Richardson, F Elliot, William Devlin, E Palmer, Mr and Mrs Arthur Bussel, Mr and MRs Arnold, Miss Eunice Elliott, Miss Lizzie Elliott, Miss Fannie Arnold, Messrs Frank Elliott, Paul Sheehan, J F Center, Joseph JJohnson, John Dunmore, John J Dunmore Jr, John Sullivan, T Palmer, HA Magendle, General Sheehan, Albert Richardon, John Sullivan Jr.”

“A loving, faithful husband, and an affectionate father.
“Father is gone but not forgotten,
Nor is the good advice he gave;
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger,
Around our darling father’s grave.
Long days and nights he bor in pain;
To wait for cure was all in vain,
But God along, who thought it bst,
Did ease his pain and give him rest.”

From other researchers:
-Illegitamate son of Angela Richardson.; Clement Richardson (base born)

- After his mother died (the same year as his birth), Clement lived in his grandparents household - listed in the 1861 census.

- Clement's mother died shortly after he was born and Clement was raised by his grandfather, Thomas Wakeham Richardson (1796-1876).

- “Clement Richardson, an English immigrant, and Bridget Mary Sheehan, an Irish immigrant from County Wexford, were married in Chicago in 1874 and moved to San Francisco where they raised a family of nine children: Angelina, Lawrence, George, Albert, Anastasia, Walter, William, Charles and Raymond. In 1887, they moved in to a large Victorian home at 440 Cortland Ave., otherwise known as BERNAL HEIGHTS. - Good Life Grocery now stands on this site.” - see photo of Richardson Home, 440 Cortland Ave, with 1 man and 2 children standing on front steps

- 1861 Clement appears in the Richardson household as their son at 1861, rather than as grandson. He emigrated to US.


RESEARCH NOTES
- His birth certificate says he was the illegitimate son of Jemima Apps. Other family researchers believe that that his mother was actually Angelina Apps / Richardson, the illegitimate daughter of Jemima Barnes Apps who married Thomas W Richardson the following year and raised her daughter Angelina as a Richardson. Angelina “Apps” died in the workhouse a month after giving birth to Clement so he was raised by his maternal grandparents as their own - he is listed as a son of Thomas and Jemima Richardson in the 1861 census.
