Notes/Misc Details
NotesAlso in memory of William Russell, who departed this life February 10, 1825. Brothers and partners in trade thirty years, who lived together with the most endearing love, affection, and real friendship, till death separated them for a short period. As in their lives they were most happily connected--so doth their ashes now sweetly sleep together in the same grave, till the trump of God shall call them to awake.
