"--William Russell was also a farmer and a shoemaker. He was known far and wide to blow pain out of burns, and to take away warts and other strange things, and his services were in demand--"
Excerpt from an article in the Semi-Weekly New Era, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 4 Aug 1917, Sat, p. 6

"--Mrs. Illges was born in Lancaster county, Pa., January 23, 1837, her father being William Russell and she was of German and Irish extraction. Her father came to Tipton county [Indiana] from Pennsylvania in 1857, and resided here about five years, when he returned to his former state. In 1853 the subject of this sketch was united in marriage to Levi Illges, the ceremony being performed at the home of the parents of the bride in Pennsylvania, and in 1858 they moved to Germantown, Wayne county [Indiana]--" excerpt from the obituary of Elizabeth (Russell) Illges. The Tipton Tribune, Tipton, Indiana, Thursday, March 18, 1909
