RUSSELL, RADFORD, WATERS



J. H. RUSSELL, proprietor of a hotel in Petersburg, is a native of Marshall

County, born March 18, 1842, one of ten children of John M. and Ella J.

(RADFORD) RUSSELL. The father was a Georgian by birth, born in 1805, a

farmer and extensive tobacco grower.  He located in Marshall County, Tenn.,

in 1835, and there remained until his death in 1862.  The mother was born

in the same neighborhood as her husband, in 1807, and died in 1866.  Our

subject attended New Hope Academy and resided under the paternal roof until

1861, when he entered the army, joining Company A, Eighth Tennessee

Infantry, and took part in the battles of Murfreesboro, Shiloh, Winchester,

Huntsville, and several smaller engagements. He served three years, was

wounded seven times, but lost little or no time from active field duties.

He returned home in January, 1864, and began farming, and remained in this

business about four years.  February 11, 1864, he married Mary J. WATERS,

who was born in Marshall County, in 1845, and bore her husband five

children:  George H., Fannie E., W. T., Susan B., and Myrtle.  About 1868

Mr. RUSSELL removed to Petersburg, and has since kept hotel.  He keeps a

first-class house and is obliging and hospitable in the treatment of his

guests.  He is a Democrat and a member of the Masonic fraternity.
