I found 3 William Russells who died in Fla. I do not know what state your grandmother lived in at the time. William O. Russell; b. 24 Mar 1910; Death: 2 Aug 1997 - Fort Lauderdale, Broward, Fla. SS # issued in Texas William Russell b. 19 Sep 1911; d. Jan. 1979 - Pompano Beach, Broward, Fla. SS# issued in PA. William Russell b.15 Jan. 1909; d. Mar 1965 - Cocoa, Brevard, Fla.
