Description
Photograph of Stanley Richman, seated, with his wife, Clara (Gochenour) Richman, standing beside him.
Stanley Alden Richman was the son of Isaac M. and Mary Catherine (Sager) Richman, a farming couple. The 1920 census found Stanley living and working on his family's farm in the Stonewall District of the County. He married in 1923. At that time, his occupation was farmer.
Clara Irene Gochenour was the daughter of Calvin and Alice (Windle) Gochenour. She had many siblings growing up.
The 1930 census found the family living on Back Road near St. Luke. Clara and Stanley raised at least three children over the next several decades. They were Alden G., Blanche M., and Margetta (or Mary Etta).
The 1950 census found the couple living in the Davis District where Stanley worked as a pipefitter for the American Viscose Corporation and Clara helped with farm work. They had a 14-year old daughter, Mary Etta, living with them.
Stanley died as the result of an accident when he was in his seventies. His pants caught fire while he was burning tree stumps at his home in Strasburg. Second and third-degree burns affected 47% of his body and led to septicemia and pneumonia. He did not recover.
Clara lived a long life. Her last residence was on Junction Road in Strasburg before moving to the Lantzers Home for Adults in Middletown, where she died.
Both Stanley and Clara are buried together in Mount Zion Lutheran Church Cemetery in Alonzaville, near Maurertown.
