At the call of his country, during the Civil War, Mr. Russ enlisted in the 112 Regiment, Co. I, N.Y. Volunteers, at Jamestown, N.Y.; August 28, 1862. And was honorably discharged at Raleigh, N.C., June 13, 1865.

In the spring of 1877, he left his native-state and with his family came to the state of Kansas, locating temporarily at Marquette in the month of April. The following year he settled on a homestead about 8 miles from this town where he remained 11 years, when he moved to Little River. After 10 years residence at this place he moved to Sterling, where he has resided the last 21 years of his life.

He was granted a license to preach as a local preacher about the year 1893, at Little River.
