General Notes: Husband - William Russell


He was born in County Down, Ireland, and when six years of age his parents immigrated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he grew to man­hood, receiving in the public schools of that city a common school education. He came to Butler County when a young man, and purchased property in Harrisville, Mercer township. He followed school teaching for some years, and in 1849 went to California and remained on the Pacific coast twenty-six years, then returned to Butler, where he died at the home of his son, Alexander. He and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian church. Politically, he was a Republican, and filled the office of justice of the peace for some years.
