RUSSEL WM. At times it is a difficult task to follow, step by step, the successive stages of life of those who have taken a leading position in life. The Russels are of Scotch origin, all comfortably situated in life. Andrew and Agnes Russel, pa- rents of Wm. Russel,were natives of Roth- say, Scotland, where William was born and grew up on the old homestead. In 1833 the Russels stepped on board a sailing ves- sel bound for America. By way of Spring- field, Ill., they made their way into Morgan Co. Andrew Russel entered a large tract of land and became a very successful farmer. The subject of this notice received a classi- cal education in Scotland ; at twenty-eight he married Miss Emily Gallaher, daughter of Wm. Gallaher, a native of Kentucky, who moved to Illinois in its early settle- ment. Mr. Russel was. in very comfortable circumstances compared to many that first made a home in the west. No man is bet- ter known in the early days of Jacksonville. First opening the largest store for the sale of China ware, boots, shoes, hardware, groceries, etc., strictly honorable in all business transactions, he went steadily for- ward to a successful career. A number of years ago he built the store he now occu- pies on the west side of the Square, and made a purchase of a large business house. The Russel estate comprises over 5,000 acres of land ; in addition to a part of this William owns a great deal of city property. This family was among the nobility of Scotland.


RUSSEL & HAYDENS (William Russel, George and Alfred Hayden) dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes, and im- porters and sole agents for the United States for Edwinson C. Green's breech and muzzle-loading guns, manufactured at Chel- tenham, Eng. This make of guns are unsur- passed in material, workmanship, durabili- ty and shooting qualities ; they have won for themselves a world wide reputation, having shown their superiority wherever tested. At the international gun trial in New York, in 1873, they stood first, sec- ond and third ; at the field trial, London, England, in 1875, they made the highest aggregate score ; also making the best sin . gle shot over all the competitors ; beating sixty-two out of sixty-eight of the best ma- kers in Great Britain. They are offered to the sportsmen of America, with the assur- ance that there is none better made, and at prices within the reach of the masses of sportsmen.

TAYLOR GEORGE, retired farmer, r ss College w Lurton; son of Henry A. and Frances Taylor, natives of Virginia and Kentucky respectively. George was born on his father's farm, in Jefferson Co., Ky., July 20, 1805; remained on the farm until twenty-four years of age; received a sub- scription school education. George Taylor, although ranked among the wealthy prom- inent men of this county, found it impossi- ble to receive a liberal schooling, but is possessed of great natural ability. In 1832 he moved to Morgan Co., bringing his wife and two children; maiden name of wife, Polly E. Tucker. He located nine miles southeast of Jacksonville; first pur- chased ninety-five and one-half 'acres. In his judgment Illinois was destined to be- come a leading State, and Mr. Taylor in- vested largely in land, and at one time owned some 1300 acres. He had no better chances for a fortune than many boys of to- day, but always realized the fact that time . is money
