bullet  General Notes

ROLLA EVERETT RICHMOND was born 21 July 1898 in Noble Township, Richland County, Illinois, USA.  He was the first son of Rolla Wrightson Richmond and Nancy Frances Maglone.  His early years were in Noble, Illinois, where his grandparents and many aunts and uncles also lived.  But in 1906, when Everett was 8 years old, his father took a homestead claim near Minot, North Dakota.  After proving up on the claim they stayed at Rover, Missouri (east of West Plains) for a year while his father worked out on other farms.  Then they stayed two months at Elk City, Oklahoma before returning to North Dakota.  From 1910 to 1918 they farmed in North Dakota, but finding very little profit in it they left North Dakota in October 1918 and drove in a Jeffrey car to Cle Elum, Washington.  A year later the family moved to Oregon, settling for about three years in Wapinitia, Wasco County, Oregon, USA.

On 16 Oct 1921, Everett married his wife, Alma May Powell, daughter of local farmer John Melvin Powell and his wife, Della Alice White.  They got married in the Wapinitia Church, on a Sunday after a regular church service.  For a joke, the congregation sang the hymn, "O for the touch of His hand on mine." 

Soon after they were married, in 1922, they left Wapinitia and moved a few miles away to Maupin, Wasco County, Oregon, USA (this was partly because Maupin received electricity ahead of many of the other communities in Wasco County, Oregon).  It was in Maupin that they raised their six children.

Everett owned and operated Richmond's Garage in Maupin, along with his father and brother (and later two of his sons).  He died of congestive heart failure on 25 April 1983, and was buried 3 days later in Kelly Cemetery.  Alma lived in Maupin a number of years following her husband's death, but as her own health began to deteriorate she moved up to Seattle to be with her daughter. In 1990 Alma died in Seattle, and she was buried 6 days later in Kelly Cemetery, next to her husband Everett.
