This is a reproduction of the original wedding announcement. The original article was printed in the March 12, 1890 Newton Journal. It was reprinted in the Jasper County Historical Society Newsletter in August of 1994 (pg. 3). It has something of a "Who's Who" of the Russell and Davis familys of the time as it lists virtually every member of my family extant at the time. I have little knowledge of their descendants and would be appreciative of any information you may have.
I am also including a copy of Thomas and Nellie May (Davis) Russell's wedding photo.

Your Jasper County website is one of the best maintained and one of the most informative in the entire country. Excellent work - you have been invaluable in my quest for information on the Russell family.
