General Notes: Husband - William Frank Russell


During his boyhood, he lived the life common to boys on the farm. At the age of thirteen years he began the study of telegraphy and soon became a competent operator. After twenty years of active service in the employ of the Pennsylvania railroad company, he gave up the "sounder" and embarked in a livery and undertaking business in the town of Bridgeville, Pennsylvania. He erected a commodious brick building, in which he had one of the best-appointed livery stables in Allegheny County. Ever since he became a voter, Mr. Russell was a republican, and he took an active interest in all matters touching the public welfare. He served on the school board and as auditor of his township. About 1902 he was elected on the republican ticket to the office of justice of the peace for Bridgeville borough. In church matters he followed the example of his honored ancestors, and was a member of the United Presbyterian church. Three of his uncles were prominent in the ministry of that denomination. Beginning about 1892 Mr. Russell was one of the trustees of the Bridgeville Presbyterian church. In his church work and relations he had the full sympathy and support of his wife.
He was a member of Bridgeville lodge, No. 396, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and held the office of secretary of the lodge.
