Book Title: HISTORY OF OCEANA CO., CHICAGO, H.R. PAGE & COMPANY, 1882

Among the first to introduce thorough-bred Durhams was Judge Russell, of Hart, 
who imported the Third Duke of Moscow, purchased at Chicago, whither he had 
been brought from Missouri.  He was sold in the Fall to T. Taylor, of 
Hesperia, and is now owned by Blodgett of Hersey.  In the Fall of 1880 it was 
ascertained that more than half the prize stock at the County and Hesperia 
fairs were from him.  The next thorough-bred bull was also imported by Mr. 
Russell, in 1879 - Chief, who now belongs to A. Yates, who now also owns the 
next bull, which was imported by the Oceana County directors of the poor, for 
their farm.  The next two were by S. A. Browne, of Pentwater, for his Golden 
stock farm, and T. S. Gurney, of Hart.  All these were registered.

When Chief was purchased, Mr. Russell also bought a cow, Ruby fifteen, which 
he still owns; next two cows were imported by Mr. Browne, one of which is now 
Mr. Gurney's, and the other A. R. See's, of Weare.  These are all that have 
been imported, and there are now registered but thirteen Durham's.
