Mrs. Russell's Body Being Brought to North Carolina for Burial, May 26, 1926

Death of Mrs. W.L. Russell. . . Was Miss Lalla Wynn Before Her Marriage; Died in New Mexico Last Saturday

Mrs. L.B. Wynne received a message from Mr. W.L. Russell on Saturday stating that Mrs. Russell, who is the daughter of Mrs. Wynne, died at 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon, May 23, in Silver City, New Mexico. A letter received the day before had brought word to her mother that she was slightly improved after an acute illness of which she had suffered for a month. The message bringing news of her death was a shock to her relatives and many friends here.

Mr. Russell left with the body on Sunday and will reach Greensboro Wednesday night, where he will be met by Mr. Bruce Wynne. They will reach here some time Thursday.

Mrs. Russell was the fourth daughter of Mrs. L.B. Wynne and the late Mr. Wynne. Born in Everetts October 15th, 1891, she was a member of a large and happy family of six girls and two boys. During her girlhood, her family moved to Williamston and here she has many friends who have always admired her charming personality and strength of character.

She was educated in the Eastern Carolina Teachers College and North Carolina College for Women, where she received her degree. For a few years she taught in this State, but for several years she has taught in New Mexico. In Silver City she met Mr. William L. Russell, a prominent real-estate and insurance man of that city, and when en route to New Mexico from a visit to her people here last August, she met Mr. Russell in El Paso, Texas, where they were married. Since that time, they have made their home in Silver City.

In early life she was a communicant of the local Baptist church, but during the last few years she has become a believer of the Christian Science Church.

Surviving the deceased, besides her husband mother, are three sisters, Mrs. R.F. Pope, Mrs. Roger A. Critcher, and Mrs. John A. Manning, and two brothers, Earl W. and Bruce Wynne, all residents of Williamston.

Funeral services will be held at 3:30 Friday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. L.B. Wynne.
