At the age of three she moved with her parents to Shools, Indiana. In 1880 she came with her parents, four brothers and five sisters to the same community as the Russell family were now living. My maternal grandparents were Robert J. and Nancy Jane Morrison. My grandfather farmed, raised and sold horses, some of which were secured from the Indians. These pioneer families lived about three miles from an Indian camp ground. The Indians were not happy unless they could trade or steal from the new settlers. Two of my mother's sisters passed away quite young, one died of child birth and the youngest died with small-pox and pneumonia. They are buried in the valley cemetery, a small isolated plot of ground surrounded by pasture and corn fields. 110 My mother taught school in this same community. Her school house was crudely made of logs. The winters were very severe in those days, sometimes it was hard to keep the school house warm, but the students wore heavy home made clothing, long underwear and high shoes. Some of her pupils were larger and older than she was. Sarah Kate Morrison and John H. Russell were married at the Pleasant Valley Church on April 12, 1890. My father had built a two room home on his homestead. It was built of rough lumber, was thinly plastered and was not painted, but turned out to be a very happy home for the new bride and groom. My father farmed, raised cattle and hogs and "fed out" his livestock. To this union, four children were born: Hannah Mae, (Mrs Ed Held, Mother of Anne Held Clark, Gladys Held Kuehn and Avis Jean Laddig) John H. Russell, Jr. Father of John H. Russell, 3rd. Albert E. Russell, father of Albert Russell, Jr. and Patsey Russell Hornby, who is deceased. The youngest and only one of this union living is myself, Nellie E. Forbes. In the years to come my parents added on to their home. My father built a barn, cattle shed and hog shed on his farm, out of cement blocks which he molded himself. These building are still standing and are in good shape, being so solidly built. This farm is now owned by Albert Russell, Jr. and occupied by Donn Russell and family. John Russell Sr. and his family lived on this farm until he retired.
