Read More	Esau Russell was born January 24, 1851, in Dorsetshire, England, and died Friday evening January 26, 1923. He lived to be 72 years and 2 days. In 1872, he left his home in England and settled at Tiffin, Iowa. He was united in marriage with Josephine Mason on Oct. 2, 1883. To this union were born 3 sons: Bowden, Sylvan, and Carman. Esau died at his home after a lingering illness with heart trouble and complications. His last illness began about the middle of October, being possibly brought on by a summer of very hard and continuous work. He had a very severe attack about Thanksgiving, from which he seemed to rally slowly and was able to sit up several hours a day. As late as last Tuesday, hopes were held out for his recovery, but that night he took a turn for the worse and he lay unconscious two days before his death. He was laid to rest on a knoll that looks across the valley to the bluffs on the opposite side of the river where Mr. Russell had lived for over a third of a century. In March 1887, Esau moved with his family from Johnson County to Ida Grove, Iowa, and bought a six acre farm on the crest and south slope of the bluffs a mile north of the city. Other small farms in the vicinity were consolidated until 1916 when he purchased the wooded land running down to the north corporation line, making an entire quarter section. Part of this is splendid natural grove and much used by the people of Ida Grove for picnic purposes. Mr. Russell had always been most gracious and generous in permitting the use of this land for outings. Mr. Russell was a lover of children and of nature. He welcomed them to his home and to his woodlands. He shared his choice trees with them at Christmas time and several times donated fine big spruce trees for the municipal celebrations in Ida Grove. The tall, straight evergreen that graced the bank corner during the recent holiday season was his last gift. He was a modest, unassuming man, but a warm and faithful friend to those who succeeded in penetrating his cloak of shyness. He gave much to his family in way of love and faithfulness and received full measure of devotion in return. He is survived by his wife, his 3 sons, Bowden of Vernon, British Columbia; Sylvan of Sundre, Alberta, and Carman, at home; one brother, Arthur Russell of Iowa City, Iowa; and a circle of old friends. (P.S. Bowden and Carman are buried at Ida Grove Cemetery, Ida County, Iowa, and Sylvan Russell is buried in Olds, Alberta, Canada. Esau and Josephine are buried at the Ida Grove Cemetery, Iowa.)
