WILLIAM K. RUSSELL.
Although Mr. Russell has not been in the Pend d'Oreille
valley as long as some, still he has manifested during his
residence here the true pioneer spirit and is properly classed
as one of the substantial men of the community. He resides
about one mile west from Dalkena, where he devotes himself to
farming and stock raising, having one hundred and sixty acres of
land. This land was secured by the homestead right in 1900
and since that time he has been making excellent improvements,
and the fact that he has cleared thirty acres in three years
manifests his industry and thrift.
William K. Russell was born in Ontario, Canada,
on July 29, 1867, the son of Andres and Clara Russell,
natives of Canada. They were the parents of three
children, William K., Fred and Nellie
They died when our subject was but six years old. The
father was a professor in the academy in Napanee, Ontario, and
our subject received his education in the world famed schools of
that province. As stated, when he was six years of age he
was left an orphan and was thus early thrown out to meet the
hardships and responsibilities in the world. After
completing his education, at the age of seventeen, he began
clerking in a general store, later devoting himself to
canvassing, and in 1890 took up lumbering, which he followed
until 1900, when he came to the Colville valley. Mr.
Russell has been appointed deputy county assessor and in
1902 was elected road supervisor, and in both these capacities
has manifested ability and integrity. In political
matters, Mr. Russell pulls with the republicans and
manifests a deep interest in the welfare, both of his party and
the community. He is a young man of sound principles and
has won the confidence and respect of all who know him.
