"Richard was also a professional artist who dabbled in carvings, oil paintings and sketches and worked for Morgan Lithography and Otis Litho of Cleveland. He lived in Bedford, Ohio with his wife Anne (the former Anne Nyerges) in the Hezekiah Dunham House, which Anne inherited from her family. He left much of his work (with the exception of those that had been sold or given to family) to the Bedford Museum in Bedford, Ohio. The museum is located on the square just a short walk from Hezekiah Dunham House." http://www.sedlon.org/richard.html
