General Notes: Husband - William Russell

---

He was born in Robinson township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and began work on the farm as soon as he was old enough to be useful. He and his wife first settled on the home farm, and resided there until 1885. He continued to own that farm, but moved to Smith township, locating on a fertile farm of 170 acres which he then occupied, situated near the headwaters of Raccoon creek, about three and a half miles south of Burgettstown. In 1892 Mr. Russell erected a handsome residence which added to the value and beauty of his property. He was a successful farmer and careful financier; he raised the best quality of stock, such as Black-Top sheep, Durham cattle and Poland-China hogs. In politics he was a Democrat, and in religion he and his wife were members of Cross Creek Presbyterian Church.
