Richardson Cemetery

John I. Richardson (1839-1922), a county surveyor, Mason, and veteran of the 12th Texas Confederate Cavalry, married Ann Elizabeth Reagor (1849-1923) in 1865. Both were descendants of the family for which Reagor Springs was named. Their cousin Robert S. Reagor was buried on the Richardsons' property in 1879, and in 1890 the land was deeded for use as a cemetery. Also buried there are two of the Richardsons' six children. The Richardsons left Reagor Springs near the turn of the century. Other early area families are also buried in the cemetery, which contains thirty graves. Those interred there helped forge Reagor Springs and early Ellis County.
