Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 376-377:
Richard Atkinson, a lifetime resident of Malden township, County of Essex where he had followed farming with much success, comes of old English stock.
     John Atkinson, his grandfather, was a resident of Downham, Lancashire, England, where he married Alice Boothman and where both died...
     Richard Atkinson, Jr., son of John, and father of the present Richard, was born Feb. 2, 1783, at Downham...
     Richard Atkinson was born April 1, 1837, in Monaghan township, near Port Hope, Ont., and was but two years old when the family came to Colchester South, County of Essex... After attaining his majority, he rented land until 1872, when he purchased a farm of his own, 100 acres of Lot 39, Concession 4, settling upon the same, where he has resided ever since. Mr. Atkinson has since added sixty-eight acres in Concession 3, and also 100 acres in Lot 30, Concession 3, the latter being the farm upon which his parents resided for a number of years, and where they died. This whole property is under a high state of cultivation, and brings ample returns for the work which has been devoted to its development. Mr. Atkinson has erected substantial buildings, and now owns one of the most comfortable homes in the township.
     Mr. Atkinson has been twice married, his first marriage, which took place in Malden, being to Matilda Graveline... Mr. Atkinson's second marriage was to Jessie Campbell, daughter of Duncan Campbell, and the children of this union are: William D., a farmer on one-half of the Armitage place, in Lot 30; John, who married Miss McArthur, and lives in Montreal, where he is chief manager for the N. K. Fairbanks Company; Christina, wife of Thomas Dowler, of the 5th Concession, of Malden, who has one daughter, Gladys; Charles, who has one-half of the Armitage farm (he married Louisa Brush); Alice, who married William Mickle, has one daughter, Pearl, and they reside on the river front, Concession 1; and Arthur M., who is still at home, assisting his father in carrying on the work of the home farm.
     Mrs. Jessie (Campbell) Atkinson was born in Scotland, Nov. 20, 1852, daughter of Duncan and Christina (McGregor) Campbell, of Scotland, who were born 1821 and 1820, respectively. They came to the County of Essex in 1854, and located in Malden township, where they have since remained. He has lived retired for the past four years. He was township treasurer for many years, and township reeve also for many years, being quite a prominent man in his community. To Mr. and Mrs. Campbell were born children as follows: Jessie, Mrs. Atkinson; Miss Anna, who is with her parents; William, deceased in April, 1904, who married Elizabeth Graveline and had three children; Peter, a farmer of Malden township, who married Catherine Graveline, and has five children; and Christina, who married John Anderson, Jr. The parents of this family hold membership in the Presbyterian Church.
     Mr. Atkinson and his family belong to the Presbyterian Church, to which he is a liberal contributor. In politics he is a Reformer, but he is only active as a voter, never accepting political office. His interests have centred mainly in farming, all of his sons, with one exception, also being farmers. He is a member of the Agricultural Society, and also belongs to the Ancient Order of United Workmen, at Amherstburg. Mr. Atkinson is one of the solid, representative men of Malden township. His success has been attained through his own efforts, and he has gained through his long years of industry not only a competency, but the esteem of his fellow-citizens as well.
