The Morning Star - Mar 13, 1907 Vol LXXX No.147
  FUNERAL OF MRS. RUSSELL
  Impressive Services Yesterday
  Afternoon From St. James' Church.

  In the presence of a large assemblage of friends and relatives, impressive 
funeral services were conducted at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon from St. 
James' Church over the remains of the late Mrs. Olivia G. Russell, the rector, 
Rev. R.W. Hogue, assisted by Bishop Strange, officiating.  A large number of 
very pretty floral tributes were laid upon the casket by sorrowing friends and 
many expressions of deep regret at the death of Mrs. Russell were heard.

  The interment was in beautiful Oakdale cemetery, the pall-bearers having 
been Hon. John D. Bellamy and Mr. William H. Green, honorary; Messers. David 
S. Russell, John D. Bellamy, Jr., J.C. Stevenson, Dr. Frank H. Russell, and 
Col. Walker Taylor, active.

Additional Comments:
  Olivia Grist was the daughter of Allen & Mary Ann Grist of Washington, NC.  
She was the second wife of Daniel L. Russell, Sr.  The Olivia Grist marker is 
part of her husband's monument.  The Russell "burying ground" is in the 
Oakdale Cemetery adjacent to the Confederate Memorial. Her marker reads:

Olivia Grist
  Wife of
D.L. Russell
  Born
April 6, 1826
  Died
March 11, 1907

Her children rise up and call her blessed.
