Edmund Nutting Richmond ("Ed") was a San Jose dried fruit packer and businessman. Richmond started in the dire fruit business working for J. K. Armsby in 1902[1], but broke off on his own by 1918. Joining with Elmer Chase, Richmond formed the new Richmond Chase company which grew into a large dried fruit packer and canner.
Richmond lived at the corner of Asbury and Myrtle in San Jose.
A strange poem suggests he once rescued Dorothy Gish, a movie star, from a car accident[2].
