Leila G. Russell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Russell was born in Le Raysville, Bradford county, Pennsylvania, Nov. 25, 1855, and came to Carroll county, Illinois with her parents in June 1856. She was educated in the public schools of this county, and for several terms was a teacher in the Milledgeville schools.
On December 6, 1877, she was united in marriage to George Hubbard, of Milledgeville, and to them four children were born, the oldest being a son now 17 years of age and the youngest a daughter, only two years old. Her death occurred at 11 o'clock Tuesday evening, March 5, having been sick but one week. She leaves to mourn her departure, a father, mother, two sisters, a brother, a beloved husband and four dear children.
The deceased was a dutiful wife and mother, always having in view that which would add to the comfort of her children, and it seems sad, indeed, that she has been taken from them when a mother's care is so much needed, but the Allwise Creator knows what is best, and we know that all will be well. The funeral service occurred at the M. E. church, Thursday at two o'clock, Rev. F. L. Baldwin officiating. Interment took place in the Bethel cemetery.. The sympathy of a large circle of friends is extended to the relatives in this, their time of bereavement. - Scrapbook transcription from Pam Pickens
