The Humeston [IA] New Era May 23, 1900
Joliet, Ill., May 19.--Prof. Homer Russell, one of Joliet's oldest and best-
known residents, drowned himself in the Desplaines river. The body was 
recovered. Prof. Russell was a native of New York state. He came to Joliet in 
1864 and started the first business college in the city. About three months 
ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis, which left him almost helpless. He 
leaves one daughter, Mrs. Charles Russell of Chicago, and a son, Horace, of 
this city.
