Nellist SAMUEL PHILLIPS RUSSELL, Dentist. As the only traveling dentist in the Territory, Dr. Samuel P. Russell is well known in Honolulu, where he maintains an office the greater part of the year, and on the Island of Hawaii, where he visits his dental offices in Kohala and Honokaa and practises there bi-monthly. Dr. Russell arrived in Honolulu in 1912 on a pleasure trip, having joined a Shriners’ excursion party in New Jersey. He remained five weeks and the same year returned here to take up his permanent residence in the islands. He became established in private practise at Wailuku, Maui, for a year and from 1914 to 1920 practised in Hilo, Hawaii. Since then he has divided his time between Honolulu and Hawaii. Born in Springfield, Mass., on Aug. 16, 1870, Dr. Russell is the son of Alden C. and Mary A. (Clarke) Russell, and a descendant of old New England stock on both sides of his family. He attended the public schools of New York city and in 1891 was graduated from the New York College of Dentistry. He then established himself in practise in New York for five years and from 1896 until 1912 had offices in Weehawken, New Jersey. Dr. Russell is a Mason, the only life member of Mecca Temple, Mystic Shrine, New York, residing in Hawaii, a Knight Templar and an Elk. In 1908 he married Sophie Zander of New Jersey.
