History
Charles Addison Richardson was born on October 9, 1829, in Franklin, Norfolk, Massachusetts.
He was a teacher, editor, and journalist. He attended the Westfield and Bridgewater Normal Schools and taught for several years in Dedham and other towns. In 1854, he moved to Boston and worked as a clerk in John P. Jewett's bookstore. In 1856, he took the position of managing editor in the religious weekly Congregationalist, and from that time, until his death, his personal history was identified with it. He also became its part-proprietor. In 1866, he published a volume called Household Readings, a selection of articles from his paper. Richardson received the honorary degree of M.A. from Dartmouth College in 1885.
In 1852, he married Mary Jane Phipps (1829–1911). He died on January 18, 1891, in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts.
