Belding Banner-News, 20 Jul 1944

Frank Russell, 75 years of age, died at the home of his son, Herman, in this
city, on Wednesday, July 12.  During recent years Mr. Russell had been making
his home with his son, Clarence and family in Mason county, but had spent a few
months each winter with his son and family in Belding and had made many friends
here who will regret to hear of his passing.  Funeral services in charge of the
Stephens funeral home of Scottville were held Saturday, July 15, at 2:30 p.m. at
the Batchelor Christian church in Mason county, and burial was in Batchelor
cemetery beside the remains of his wife who had preceded him in death eight
years ago.  Mr. and Mrs. Russell had resided on a farm in the Batchelor
community for many years and Mr. Russell took an active part in the planning and
building of the little country church where his funeral services were held.  He
with the Rev. Fred Stewart who officiated at his funeral were both members of
the first board of trustees of said church.  Rev. Stewart paid a fine tribute to
his old friend and neighbor and was very happy to know that he passed from this
life with his trust in his Savior.  Besides the two sons, Mr. Russell is
survived by nine grandchildren, his two eldest grandsons being in the armed
services of their country: Calvin with the medical air Corps in France and
William, son of Clarence Russell, with the navy in the South Pacific.  Mrs.
George Minion of this city is a granddaughter of the deceased.  He leaves one
sister and one brother, Mrs. Ida Bort of St. Joseph, Mich., and Calvin Russell
of Toledo, Ohio; besides many nieces and nephews.  He will be sadly missed by
all his family and friends.  A kind and loving father and a true and dependable
friend.
