He was the last of a family of eleven children and had out lived the rest of the family by a score of years.

There will be no more trials, no more suffering, no more waiting and longing. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Whipple on the 18th at the M. E. church, of which he had been for years a faithful member, also he has held many, and even all, the offices which the church requires. Interment at the Willis cemetery.

| 11953 | January 16, 1906 ~ Charles F. Russell, age 75 years, 6 months, Married, Farmer, born in New York, Resident of Richland Township for 70 years, Son of Jacob Russell born in Maine, and Sophia Stork born in Maine, Died in Richland Township of paralysis of the heart, old age. Newspaper Obituary - January 24, 1906 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - It is our painful duty to record the sudden death of one of the oldest inhabitants of this town. Charles F. Russell was born at Verona, Oneida county, July 5, 1830 and moved with his parents, Jacob Russell and Sophia Stark Russell, and his brother William, to the town of Richland, Oswego county, when he was about four years of age. They came most of the way by blazed trees and settled on the farm now owned and occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Soules, one mile south of Daysville. Two years later Lydia Russell, a sister, was born in the old log house which his father had erected in this wilderness as a home. This log house like many others had the large old-fashioned fire place and great back logs were drawn in with an oxen team. Jacob Russell, his father, was a down east Yankee from the state of Maine, a millwright by trade and an 1812 soldier, who walked from his home in Oneida county to Sacket's Harbor to enlist for his country. His mother, Sophia Stark, was a granddaughter of General Stark of Revolutionary fame. After moving to Daysville many water mills were built by him on the streams in that vicinity. Charles and William helped their father clear and log the land, as it was called, and much timber, which today would be very valuable, was burned in great log heaps to fit the land for crops. On the stream which runs through the place was what was called a "deer lick", where wild deer came to lick up the salt and drink from the pure spring waters of Snake Creek. Since that time great changes have taken place in the country. Blazed trees have passed away and the forest where these early pioneers toiled has been transformed into a thickly settled farming country. After becoming of age, Charles engaged in the cattle business with profit handling many thousand dollars-worth of cattle and sheep, importing many boat loads from Canada in company with Simon Davis and driving large droves to Pennsylvania. He was married to Mrs. Abbie A. Norton, February 5, 1868 and three sons, Fred D., German C. and Orren J. Russell, were born to them. Fred and German died in infancy and Orren J. now resides with his mother at Port Ontario, where they moved from Daysville in 1888. Mr. Russell's health has been steadily declining for some time past but he was an honest and industrious man and with that determination which has characterized his whole life, he would not give up working and at the time of his death on Tuesday, January 16, seemed to be in usual health. He ate a hearty dinner and going to the barn backed out a horse and starting to lead it to the house dropped dead. Dr. Low was summoned but it was of no avail. Coroner Hollis was summoned and decided that death was due to paralysis of the heart. The funeral was held from his late home in Port Ontario, at 1 p.m., January 19, 1906. The services were conducted by the Rev. B. DeForest Snyder. Burial was in the Willis cemetery. The funeral was largely attended by sorrowing friends and neighbors and the members of Lake Ontario Association P. of I., No. 794, who attended in a body to pay their last tribute to a deceased brother. A beautiful wreath of roses, carnations and hyacinth was tenderly placed upon the casket by the lodge also a cycle furnished by Albert White, which he has had twenty-five years, a sheaf of wheat from county President L. C. Cole, a cycle indicating the age, seventy-five years, from Mr. and Mrs. Place, white carnations from Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Plummer and the family all telling the love and respect in which he was held. He leaves to mourn his loss besides the widow, Abbie A., and son Orren, two nieces at Daysville, Mrs. Fred Soules and Miss Lydia Russell, a sister, Mrs. Lydia Twitchell and two sons, Fred C. Twitchell and Will Twitchell, of Alameda, California, and a step-son, L. J. Norton, of Napa, California. | Russell, Charles Franklin (I70076)

Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, January 21, 1886 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - On Sunday, about 1:45 p.m. Oscar F. Wright, for about five years a bookkeeper and collector for Dr. Low, died quite suddenly at the Hotel de June. He had left the employ of Dr. Low, about one week previous to his death.

Betts, one of our most esteemed physicians, at his residence on Saturday last, and the suddenness of her departure from _blooming health in addition to the doctor and her having just got settled in their beautiful home, affected every heart giving touching emphasis to the words in the burial service.

Mrs. Betts was born in Oswego village on the 5th of October, 1858, and was the eldest daughter of the late Sherman Clark Esq., and of his beloved wife, Mrs. Sarah Marie Clark, who with three daughters, Mrs. Fred Sharp, Miss Anna and Miss Jessie Clark are thus suddenly bereaved.

Benton, confirmed by Bishop Huntington at the age of fifteen, and regular in her attendants on the services of the church, and that the holy Communion up to the end of her earthly pilgrimage, and of a married life of more than usual happiness and prosperity of almost fifteen years. Her piety was of a modest correlation disposing her to say little of herself yet deep and all-pervading has appeared by her devotion to her husband and friends. A cheerfulness which caused all our young people to love her, and in her words to her mother in her last illness, "I am not afraid to die," while she kept repeating over and over again the words of the everlasting gospel as contained in the services of the Episcopal Church. By her particular instructions the officiating Minister, Rev. Robert Paul, confined himself wholly to the burial service as it is contained in the Prayer Book of the Episcopal Church. | Clark, Cora Marie (I20183)
