General Notes: Husband - William C. Russell
He obtained his education in the common schools of Brady township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. At the age of sixteen he started with a team and wagon for Elizabeth City, North Carolina, leaving Grampian on the 12th of April, and drove to Baltimore, Maryland, where he loaded his horses and wagon on a steamboat, and thus journeyed to Norfolk, Virginia, whence he drove across the Dismal Swamp to his destination. For eighteen months he remained in Elizabeth City, employed in a sawmill, and then returned to Cameron County, Pennsylvania, where he spent a year, working in the lumber woods for Samuel Kirk. He then returned to Clearfield County, and became prominently identified with its lumber interests. On February 1, 1897, he commenced in the hotel business at Grampian as proprietor of "Hotel Aberdeen," in which he continued until July 1, 1896, when he purchased the grocery business of Dr. Currier, of Grampian, and was then also engaged in mercantile business.
He was one of the stanch advocates of Republican principles in Grampian, and served as constable of Penn township for two terms. He also held the offices of town councilman, burgess and school director, and served multiple terms as justice of the peace of Grampian.
