The Hood River Glacier, Hood River, OR., April 9, 1903, page 2
OBITUARY
Mrs. Lucy Esther, wife of Matt Russell, died at the residence in Hood River, April 6, 1903, aged 24 years, 10 months and 4 days. Deceased had been ill for about three weeks. Mrs. Russell was born in San Francisco and lived there during her childhood. She lived 18 years in Portland previous to marriage. She was a loving, devoted wife and affectionate mother, and by her many graces of character had formed a large circle of friends who are deeply grieved at her death so early in what promised to be a useful and happy life.
Her funeral services were conducted at the Congregational church Wednesday afternoon by Rev. J. L. Hershner. A large concourse of friends and neighbors were present, and the floral offerings were rich and tasteful, almost vocally suggestive of the beautiful, gentle life she had lived.
It is worthy of note that her death occurred on the evening of the fifth anniversary of her marriage to her afflicted husband.
A large circle of friends, besides the members of her immediate household, a husband, a little child nearly one year old, her mother (Mrs. Pearson), her sister (Mrs. Wheeler) and one brother bear the sorrow of their loss, but not without hope of union and happiness forever.
