Beatrice Richards of Long Beach, California is listed in her sister, Mary Ann's obituary. I was able to find her in the Social Security Death Index, which gave her birth date and her death date. I was able to locate her in several U.S. Census.

Beatrice's first marriage was to Sydney Nettel on 14 Oct 1903 on Globe, Arizona. They had a son, Sydney J. Nettel, born in 1904 in Globe. I found this information on the online Arizona birth and marriage records.
Beatrice married a second time to James Bennett Richards on 16 Feb 1905 in Globe, Arizona. He died the 24 Nov 1931 in Bellflower, California at the age of 52. They had eight children, the first 5 born in Arizona and the last 3 born in California.
