Agnes Richardson died unmarried in October, 1990 at the age of 96. The Kingston Whig Standard, on October 19, 1990, gave the following background in her obituary:

"... A shipyard accident on the Clyde took her father's life when she was a young girl, after which she became a ward of the Bridge of Weir Homes in Glasgow.

"In 1910, when just 15, she emigrated to Canada to the Thomas Anglin farm home at Brewer's Mills where she became for most purposes a member of that family.

"In 1946 she moved with Mr. and Mrs. Anglin to Newboro where they lived out their remaining years near their daughter, Mrs. Lester Lloyd. After that she went back to Brewer's Mills to live with Irene and Sam Anglin, then a few years later to 213 Garden Street, Gananoque, where she had an apartment, prior to her admission to Carveth [Retirement Home in Gananoque] in 1983. ..."
