nd the county at large,
ither, Jonathan Russell,
before him was state senator
from Wood county way back
in the "Carpet Bag Days" af-
ter the close of the Civil war.
Judge Russell followed in his
footsteps of his illustrious fath-
er by faithfully representing
Hopkins county and served 4
years, and was the last ex-offi-
cio county superintendent of
schools.
For many months he had
been in declining health and
hlad made his arrangements
with his fellow man, his family
and his God to be ready to an-
swer when the final summons
came.
I Story of hi* Life
The following story is told
of the life of Judge Russell by
one who knew him intimately:
Thomas Jefferson Russell
was born in 1857 in Webster
community in Wood county.
His parents were Jonathan Rus
sell and Baniry Carpenter Rus-
sell, his mother having died
when he was sixteen years old.
His father Jonathan Russell,
served as a captain in the Ci-
vil war, and later served a no-
ble record in the legislature.
T. J. Russell went to school
in his early childhood at Web-
ster school, and in his early
manhood he came to Sulphur
Springs to .study law under the
supervision of L. D. King, who
was one of the best lpwyers
of that time. Mr. Russell was
admitted to the bar and prac-
ticed law for several years.
He served two years as the
Justice of the Peace at Winns-
boro, and later four years at
Pickton. In 1883 he was mar-
ried to Permelia Jane Alvis
and for three years lived in
Winnsboro. Then they moved
four and one half miles west
of Winnsbboro where they now
live.
There were two children
bom to this union, Mrs. 0. E
Walters of this place, and Hor-
ace Russell who lives with his
parents. They also raised three
children of his deceased bro-
ther, Lafayette Russell of An-
son Texas, Mrs. R. M. Strib-
ling of Plainview, and Watson
Russell of Anson.
Mr. Russell was elected
judge of Hopkins couuty in 19-
04, and was reelected in 1906.
He tried to serve the peoplo
conscientiously the whole four
years. He was the last ex-offi-
cio county superintendent, as
the office of county superinten-
dent was created his last term.
He was elected to the legisla-
ture in 1910 and served one
term.
He was converted at the age
of 16, and united with the Hap
tist church at Center Grove,
two years after marriage and
was jmade a deacon two years
later. He was a consistent
christian the remainder of his
life. He belonged to the mason-
ic lodge in Winnslxiro.
He came to Sulphur Springs
12 days ago to home of his
daughter, Mrs. O. E. Walters,
to have Dr. Stirling, who is
their family physician, to do
what he could for him, and he
has been duly faithful.
Mr. Russell passed away at
7:40 a. m. August 23, 1924. He
would have been 67 years of
age August 24, and was buried
on his birthday.
The funeral of Judge T. J.
Russell was held Sunday after-
noon at the First Baptist
church at 3 o'clock, conducted
by T. A. Binford of the Winns-
l)oro Baptist church, assisted
by the local pastor, J. Howard
Williams. There was a large
gathering of friends and rela-
tives present and beautiful tri-
butes were paid by each speak-
er to ♦he noble character and
splendid life of one who had
lived so long and so faithfully
among the people of Hopkins
and Wood counties. Burial took
place in the City cemetery.
Many from Winnsboro and oth
er places were here to attend
the funeral.
