DR. E. P. RUSSELL.  This gentleman, who is a prominent physician of Elkton,
is a son of John M. Russell and Sallie (Porter) Russell, an old and
respected family of Todd County, where both parents died, the father in
October, 1860, and the mother a few years prior.  The Doctor was born in
this county September 21, 1843, and here spent most of his boyhood days.
He attended for some time the Cottage Home College of Logan County. After
the breaking out of the war, in the year 1861, he entered the Confederate
Army as Lieutenant of a company, which was subsequently placed in the
Second Kentucky Cavalry.  He was enlisted for one year, but served until
September, 1863, when disability rendered his resignation necessary.
Returning home, he read physics under Drs. McReynolds for a time, then
entered the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia, from which he
graduated in 1866.  After a short residence in Decatur, Ill., he located
in Elkton in 1867, which has been the scene of his labors since, and
where he enjoys a handsome practice.  In February, 1867, he married Miss
Jennie, daughter of Dr. James A. McReynolds.  She too, is a native of
Todd County, is descended from Scotch ancestors, as is also the Russell
family.  Her parents were among the early permanent settlers of this
county, and are now deceased.  Dr. Russell is a member of the Masonic
fraternity, and both he and his wife are members of the Christian Church.
Their children, two in number, are Sue and John Russell.
