New found information

I had not been able to find any information pertaining to Hyrum's first wife or any children until his great grandaughter responded to this blog. What a wonderful surprise. She has supplied us with a good deal of information and is going to send me more, which I will post. Here is what we have learned.

Hyrum's first wife was Millicent Catherine Angel. We are not sure of her birth date yet but it as either 1861 or 1864. But she was born in Carthage, Smith, Tennessee. She married Hyrum during 1886 in St. John, Tooele, Utah. They divorced prior to 1908. There was one child from this marriage:

Al Smith Russell

Born: 7 Oct 1887 Wolfe, Sheridan, Wyoming

Died: 18 Feb 1970 Sheridan, Sheridan, Wyoming

I have received a life sketch of Al Smith Russell as well as family information and photographs. This will be placed in a separate posting.

Hyrum married a second time Kate Belle Beswick, 27 July 1908. She had been married and had children with William Henry Bennett prior to her marriage with Hyrum. She and Hyrum did not have any children. They divorced and she married George Anderson Terry, 1 Feb 1918 in Idaho. She was married to him until the time of her death, 8 Feb 1929 in Pocatello, Bannock, Idaho.

The Gravesite of Louisa Jones Russell

The Erie Street Cemetery located in Cleveland, Ohio

Louisa Jones: Born abt 1809 in Canada. Died 20 Feb 1847 in child birth while William Greenwood Russell was out to sea. See the posting earlier in this blog for more information as to Louisa Jones

This is the second oldest cemetery in Cleveland and is located across the street from the Cleveland Indians baseball stadium. This video was taken June of 2008 by Jennifer Russell. I obtained the burial plot map of the cemetery and the grave site number and this video is accurate. Many of the grave markers are now gone or are unreadable.

Grave location: Erie Street Cemetery, Seciton 4, Lot 34, Tier 1, Grave 2. Buried 23 Feb 1847 according to the cemetery records. The cemetery is located at 2254 East 9th Street and is a part of the Highland Park Cemetery System. I have a letter from the cemetery which confirms this information and contains the map of each grave in the cemetery.
