“Winters Express,” Thursday, December 4, 1986
Russell H. Pleasants

Masonic funeral services were held in Smith’s Colonial Chapel Wednesday
afternoon for Russell H. Pleasants, 65, who died in the Woodland Memorial
Hospital Sunday.  Burial followed in the Winters Cemetery.

A lifelong resident of Pleasants Valley, he was a descendant of James Madison
Pleasants, who settled in the valley which bears his name, in 1850.  Russell was
born in Oakland December 14, 1920, and was a rancher most of his life, later
working in the pharmacy department of the UC Davis Veterinary Medicine Teaching
Hospital.  He retired from that position in 1980.

He was a member of the Pioneer Presbyterian church and a member of
Landmark-Buckeye Masonic Lodge.  Prior to the merger of the Winters and Esparto
lodges, he served three times as master of Buckeye Lodge.  Pleasants was also a
past worthy patron of Yosolano Chapter 218, Order of Eastern Star.

For over 20 years, he served as a trustee of the Winters Cemetery District, and
for a number of years was a member of the Winters Joint Unified School District
Board of Trustees.

A veteran of World War II, he served in the U. S. Army Signal Corps.

Surviving are his wife, Dorothy, of the family home in Pleasants Valley; two
sons, Russell A. Pleasants, of Winters, and Gary E. Pleasants, of Minneapolis,
Minnesota; a sister, Elaine Blanc, of Fresno, and four grandchildren.
