Charles (Charles) Edmund Richardson and Daisie Stout were married on March 12, 1904 by Anthony W. Ivins. Daisie was Edmund’s fourth wife. She was 19 years old; Edmund was about 45. The photo on the left is their wedding portrait.
Edmund and Daisie lived in the Mexican settlement of Colonia Juarez until the Mexican Revolution forced them north to New Mexico in 1912. She lived for a while on Edmund’s Corner Ranch before he moved his families to the Gila Valley (Thatcher) of Arizona. Having been dispossessed of most of his Mexican holdings, Edmund found it difficult to adequately support his four wives and 25 children (at that time). Sarah went to Snowflake, Arizona, where her father had left her a house. Daisie eventually accepted the offer of her father’s second wife, "Aunt Julia", to move to Logan, Utah. Edmund reluctantly consented, but wished he could have provided sufficiently for her at that time.
She lived out her life in Utah and Idaho, proclaiming her devotion to Edmund to her death.
