General Notes: Husband - Andrew J. Russell

---

He was born two miles north of Hickory, in Mt. Pleasant Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and was educated in the common schools of Mt. Pleasant Township and Hickory Academy, completing the course of study at the latter place. In 1862 he entered the Federal Army as a soldier in the Civil War, enlisting in Co. G, 123rd Pa. Vol. Inf., and with that organization completed the nine months of his first enlistment. After a visit home, Mr. Russell re-enlisted for further service, entering the 21st Pa. Vol. Cav., and with that brave body of troopers he continued a soldier until the close of the war. After his safe return to peaceful pursuits, in 1867, Mr. Russell embarked in the mercantile business at Bulger, Pennsylvania, which enterprise he continued for 34 years, when he disposed of it to Charles C. Rodgers. In 1866-67, he accepted a railroad agency with the Pennsylvania system and this business interest he also retained for many years. He was an active politician and many times was elected to important offices on the Republican ticket. For 35 years he served as postmaster at Bulger, and for three terms as a justice of the peace in Smith Township and he was re-elected for another term but declined to serve. When the Midway National Bank was organized, July 4, 1867, Mr. Russell became vice president and he continued in that office for many years and was one of the largest stockholders.
