Misc. Notes
Russell was the father of three daughters and one son.

Following the death of his wife Russell gave his girls to other families in Del Rio, TX and kept his son Albert. Russell was a hard, abusive man so Russell left him when he was old enough and was estranged from his father for the rest of his life.

There is a mention of another wife, Bessie, on the info a Hoak relative gave me, but I have no clue on this one. But as far as Russell goes, there is a Missouri connection.
