Ole Bull
Ole (pronounced OH-lay) Bull was a colorful entertainer who visted Richburg. With a company of fifty musicians, he journeyed from New York, via Bath, stopping at the Richardson Tavern. It posed quite a problem including finding beds and food for so many but Mrs. Richardson sent out to the settlers for assistance and a fine supper was prepared for them. Afterwards Ole Bull and his musicians played for dancing.
