'Langsborn, MA' should be 'Langsborough, MA' edit
In the beginning paragraph, it states: "He taught school in Chatham, New York, and in Lanesborn, Massachusetts." There is no "Langsborn" in Massachusetts. It should be "Langsboro." It was typed incorrectly in some source long gone and has been copied forward without correction. I found it misspelled in three different articles about Willard Richards. See, for example: http://www.uen.org/utah_history_encyclopedia/r/RICHARDS_WILLARD.html. Although "Langsboro" is accepted, the prefered form is "Langsborough." I changed "Lanesborn, Massachusetts" to "Langsborough, Massachusetts." Edward E Fairchild (talk) 02:32, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
Intimate Disciple: A Portrait of Willard Richards edit
This is the title of a book published in 1957 by the University of Utah Press. It runs 630 pages and was written by Clare Augusta Wilcox Noall. I just found a copy here [1] that is viewable. I will add it to the sources soon.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:27, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
Not a midwife trainer edit
I removed significant chunks of content that were added by Rrsmck in Jan. 2018. Some of it purported to have references, which is probably why it survived this long, but none of them backed up the information to the extent that I was able to check. Some references were to entirely fraudulent, non-existent sources, while others were to real articles and books but the citations had nothing to do with the information added. I checked this user's contribution history and it appears he mostly added similar unhelpful content elsewhere that has largely already been removed. -- Michael Snow (talk) 06:24, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
