Notes - (except regarding Samuel Owen Russell family from Genealogy and biography of leading families of the city of Baltimore and Baltimore County, Maryland , 1879) WILLIAM L. RUSSELL, station agent at Arlington and postmaster at Station E, was born in Mobile, Ala., October 11, 1857, the son of Samuel Owens [Owen] and Ellen (Owens) [Odom] Russell, also natives of Alabama. Little is known concerning the ancestral history of the Russell family, save the fact that they came to America from England in a very early day. The father of our subject was a large cotton dealer, having mills in both Alabama and Mississippi, and spending the principal years of his life in Alabama, but his last days in Mississippi, where he died in 1870 [1868]. In political views he was an ardent Democrat. From the breaking out of the Civil war until its close he served in the Confederate army. He was a typical southerner, fond of the south and in sympathy with it in every public issue, a genial, hospitable gentleman, who had many warm friends in the locality where he dwelt. The family of Samuel Owens [Owen] Russell consisted of six children, three sons and three daughters, of whom the others besides our subject are named as follows: Allen, who died in childhood; Charles, a railroad man, now living in Mississippi; Jennie, wife of William D. Martin, who is connected with the railroad and lives at Jackson, Tenn.; Ellen, wife of A. B. Chase, of Alabama; and Delphia Anne, who married J. A. Wimbish and resides at Moselle, Miss. At the time of his fatherĀ“s death our subject was thirteen years of age, and there-after the support of his mother and a younger brother fell upon him, but he was faithful to the trust and affectionately provided for his mother until she passed from earth in 1888. His education, which was limited, was obtained in the schools of Waynesboro, Miss. At the age of fifteen he went to Jackson, Tenn., where he had charge of a large store for his brother-in-law, remaining there for four years.
