Another thank you, Jann, for posting this. There was another sister of Ophelia and Mellie: Ethel Clark. She must have died before Ophelia. I looked up Ora Russell in the Pine Bluff Commercial and was very sad to see that she died in August, 2007. As of her passing, her twin Nora Russell was still living in Warren. Does anyone know how to contact Mr. Russell? Thanks, Melissa Quoting bjw <jann_woodard@yahoo.com>: > Mrs. Ophelia Russell, 76, died Thursday at Pine Bluff.
