Hi. I have an article that came out in the Temple Daily Telegram (Temple, Bell County, TX) about Levi James Russell. According to the article, he was a founder of Bell County, and also of Denver, CO. He was a botanist, and doctor. He was considered on of the country's foremost authorities on the healing properties of herbs and plants. "He was very well thought of in scientific circles." He was born in 1831, GA. This is a pretty lenthy article. The man sure had an interesting life. I'll try to get the whole thing typed up, and anyone interested in the long form, I'll try to send you a copy. Mary Jo
