March 2, 1875, "much beloved by all who knew her." Mr. Russell was early an active member of the Congregational church in H .; attended the High school there, and was also a teacher, his first wife being one of his pupils. He almost perished in the snow on his way to the marriage. He res. a few years in H., and about the year 1818 rem. to Unadilla, N. Y., where he made a home; rem. to Sanford, N. Y., about the year 1832, where he res. many years. The burthen of life in the new settle- ment was too great for his devoted wife, and she early fell a victim to the typhoid fever, after having nursed her husband through a severe attack of the same disease. After his removal to New York, Mr. Russell was for several years an active member of the Presbyterian church. "His family were uniformly gathered morn- ing and evening around the family altar, and on Sunday the chil- dren were taught the Westminster catechism. Later, father, son (Baxter), and daughters (Aurelia and Eliza), went back to the old church - the Protestant Episcopal." Singing was with him a favorite pastime, and he made for himself an excellent bass viol, which he used on winter evenings at home and in his singing schools. He was as pronounced in his political as in his religious

The next summer he was ordained priest. Their son, William Crane4, was b. Aug. 18, 1849. The mother rapidly declined of con- sumption, and with the hope of saving her life, they started for Matagorda, Tex., but were only able to reach Galveston, where in six weeks she sweetly fell asleep in Jesus. "Hers was a lovely form, a most sweet, pure, gentle, and confiding nature." The son, who had been left behind with her sister, soon followed her to the land of the immortals, and all that is mortal of mother and son rest in the cemetery in Clarksville.
