  	After leaving school, he assisted his father on the home farm for a number of years, at the end of which time his accumulated savings amounted to $1,300, the result of most careful and painstaking economy. This was the foundation on which he was to make a start in life, but reverses attended himat the very begining of his career. His money was lost and his home which he had intended for his young bride was imperiled. In five years however, Russell, was able to buy out his brother Norman and the farm which had thus come into his possession as a result of pluck and hard work, was subsequently increased until at one time he owned 200 acres. He followed farming, in 1888 he purchased a home in Ellington Center, Conn. and left the farm in charge of his son, Judson H. When his son died, he sold the farm.
