[Granville-Hough] Veda Ann Richardson

[Trustees for Granville W. Hough]

My alert brother-in-law Jerry Miller, a South Carolinian, checked the South
Carolina Richardson connection in response to the recent reposting of 2009 60th
anniversary wishes for Tom and Veda Richardson.
Jerry says:


    In Granville's message that you forward on June 18th I noted reference
to Tom and Veda Richardson having lived in Georgetown, SC. I grew up in that
county, knew many Richardsons, and am wondering if Tom was related to any of
the Richardson families still living there.  I tried googling "Tom and Veda
Richardson Georgetown SC" and found the following recent obituary, which may
be of interest to you and other Hough relatives.
