General Notes: Husband - Franklin Russell


In 1888 he was married, had two children, and was farming his father's place of 155 acres in Hanover township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania.

He was three years of age when his parents removed to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and there his school education was acquired. In association with his father he took up farming for some time, then engaged in the livery business in Midway and McKees Rocks. With this he combined horse dealing, and he became an expert judge of horseflesh. About 1909 he returned to his farm, and utilized it principally for the breeding of blooded horses and fine breeds of Holstein and Jersey cattle. He made a specialty of breeding fine driving horses, and altogether utilized four hundred and sixty-seven acres. He was a member of the Democratic party, and always gave it his earnest support, but never desired to hold public office. His religious affiliations were with the Presbyterian Church. [GPHBC, 742]
