MAUPIN, Richard Lee - {from The Prairie Grove Herald) Mr. Richard Lee Maupin quietly breathed his last at 2 o’clock Wednesday morning at the Oaks, the home of his mother, Mrs. A.L. Maupin, in the northwestern suburbs of Prairie Grove. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. A.L. Maupin, one brother, Mr. Lincoln Maupin and two sisters, Mrs. H.D. Cummings and Miss Emily Maupin, all of Prairie Grove. His father preceded him to the grave about one year ago. This young man had been a great sufferer for several months with a throat affection which baffled all medical skill to stay its progress but when the end came he passed away quietly and without pain, as if in a refreshing sleep. The funeral services were held from the home this morning at 10 o’clock, conducted by Rev. F.A. Bradshaw, assisted by Rev. E.M. Freyschlag and the interment was made in the Prairie Grove cemetery. The floral offering was very large and beautiful. Richard Lee Maupin was the son of Mr. and Mrs. A.L. Maupin and was born in Rockingham county, Va. Oct. 7, 1879. About seven years ago he came to this community with his parents and has lived here since that time, making many warm friends among his acquaintances. He was a quiet, steady and industrious young man, faithful to every trust imposed in him. He was possessed of a mechanical turn of mind and the greater part of his industrial activity was along this line. [The Springdale News 3/31/1911]
