LAWRENCE RUSSELL m. DOTTIE PERSINGER on July 3, 1919, Book #14, p.210.

Lawrence Russell Ohio Pvt. Co. E 16 Inf. WWI b. Mar. 10, 1891 d. Aug. 23, 1965
Dottie Russell b. 1899 d. 1970

Right now I don’t know exactly where Lawrence Russell fits. He probably is related to
me and, if so, he is descended from several Gallia County Revolutionary War Veterans.
