Daniel Lee (Dannie) Richardson, 78, a life long resident of the Oswego area died Tuesday, August 1, 2006 at St. John's Regional Medical Center in Joplin. His passing was unexpected.
He was born March 10, 1928 in rural Oswego to Elmer Dale and Maggie Mae (Stice) Richardson.
Dannie graduated from the Gore Country School, which is part of the land he farmed and lived on. As a young boy his childhood was filled with farm chores, 4-H and showing his Jersey cows. He was drafted and served 2 years in the Korean conflict. After his tour of duty, he returned to farm with his parents.
He married Cleva Jean Willis on March 10, 1957 at the First Methodist Church of Oswego. She survives of the home.
Dannie was a member of the American Jersey Cattle Club, Kansas Jersey Cattle Club, the Labette County Fair Board and was president for two years. He was involved in 4-H by helping numerous youth with their dairy projects and showing their animals. He also attended Faith Baptist Church in Chetopa.
Dannie and Jean developed their farm name "Richland Jerseys" which is known throughout the Midwest. Dannie's pride with his registered Jerseys could easily be seen, whether it was raising, selling or showing the Jerseys at numerous dairy shows. This year Dannie had been showing Jerseys for 70 years; his last show was at the 2006 Cherokee County Fair.
His other interests included his family and friends which he enjoyed; they all respected him for his kindness and honesty.
