Charles H.D. Russell was my second great grandfather. He was born on 22 July 1847 in Utica, New York. He married Francis Eugenia Platt on 26 May 1870 in Waterbury, Connecticut. He died on Christmas day in 1880 in California. We don't know what he was doing in California or who shipped his body back to Connecticut for burial.
He and his wife had 3 daughters before his death, Hattie Louise (my great grandmother), Clara E. and Minnie. His wife was pregnant with Minnie when he passed. We believe her pregnancy prevented her from going to California with him.
