November 27, 1820 - November 15, 1863
Born: Alabama
Died: Centerton, Benton Co AR
Married Louiza C. Bell March 2, 1869 Benton Co AR
Parents: Samuel Russell, Josephine Jackson
Note: Additional information from a grandchild.
This entry states an impossibility: that my great great great grandfather, Elijah Russell died in 1863 and in 1869 he married my ggg grandmother, Louiza Bell (note the correct spelling of her first name). They were actually married when she was 25 years old. She was born in 1820, so one can assume the marriage was in 1845. According to family lore as printed in Louiza's obituary, Grandfather Russell was shot in the back in front of Louiza by "bushwhackers" who then burned their home to the ground. A few years later Louiza moved to Missouri. Twelve years after Elijah Russell's death, she remarried (Sooter). Her second husband predeceased her. She then married for the third time (Coffelt). She is buried in the Vaughn Cemetery in Benton County, Arkansas. She died at the age of 99 after accidentally overdosing with medication to treat what may have been the second wave of Spanish Flu.
