page 418 For a part of the 3 years he was an assistant physician at the McLean Asylum. In 1831 he began the profession in Barre, establishing his office in a house which stood upon the site of Mr. George E. BATES' residence, and boarding with Mehitable CALDWELL, who occupied the DESPER House, located at the corner of Union and Pleasant Streets. After a successful career of 20 years, during which he followed his profession in Barre and the adjacent towns, he retired. On June 2, 1836, Dr. RUSSELL was united in marriage with Mary Ann WARREN, who was a native of Roxbury and a resident of Hubbardston, MA. Born of this union were 2 daughters and 1 son. The latter died at the age of 8 years. Caroline, the elder daughter, married William HOWLAND,of Lynn,Ma., both of whom are now deceased. Marianne, the surviving daughter, married J.C. BARTHOLOMEW, of Hardwick,now a prominent businessman of Barre. In polotics, Dr. RUSSELL is a Republican. At one time he was offically connected with the School Board, but he has never sought public office. In religious belief he is a Unitarian. For his advanced age his mental and physical activity is remarkable. On pleasant days he works outdoors about his residence with the vigor of a much younger man. He keeps a diary of his daily transactions and manages his own business affairs. A director of the First National Bak, he attends the meetings of the directors regularly. He attributes his remarkable longevity to the fact that from his youth he has carefully observed the laws that tend to promote health. His present stronghold upon life bids fair to realize the hopes of his many friends, and carry him beyond the century mark. He resides with his surviving daugher and her husband. THE END
