Old Citizen Dead
End comes to John W. Russell in Arkansas
Long lived in Trigg & Was Eighty-three Years Old
Mr. John W. Russell, a former honored citizen of this county, died at the home of his son, Rev. Ira Russell, at Jonesboro, Ark., on the 7th of November. His death was caused from paralysis, he having suffered two strokes during the past few years, and other infirmities due to old age.
Mr. Russell was born in Trigg County, and was 83 years of age the 17th of last March. *
He had spent most of his life here, and for many years lived on the pike at the top of the hill, a mile west of Cadiz. About six years ago he left Cadiz, and most of that time he had spent with his youngest son in Arkansas.
Early in life Mr. Russell was married to Miss Lucy Wallis, and to this union ten children were born, five of whom are now living as follows: William Russell & Mrs. William Phillips of this city, J. T. Russell & Mrs. James Wallis of Graves Co., and Rev. Ira Russell, of Jonesboro. He is also survived by four brothers, as follows: Scott & Reese Russell of Mayfield, Bob Russell of Paducah, and Charles Russell of Missouri. One sister, Mrs. Bell Nourse, who resided at Columbia, KY., also survives. Mr. Russell had long been a member of the Methodist Church, and a Mason, and still has a large number of friends living in Trigg County who will much regret to learn of his death.
The burial took place at Jonesboro the day after his death.

History of Trigg Co., KY
Chapter VI
Freemasonry.-The history of Masonry is more or less familiar to all the civilized world, and, as the order claims, to many of the semi civilized, and even good Masons are to be found among barbarous peoples. Among its claimed chief merits and glories are its great age-the oldest organization in the world-antedating all sects, religions, and even all organized social life since the coming of Adam and Eve. Again, it is sometimes given as the history of its foundation that, as its name indicates, it was founded and organized among the workmen for mutual protection, at the building of that historical structure-Solomon's temple. But like everything else it has adapted itself to the inevitable that follows the workings and growth of the human mind, and now they have attached to the order well regulated benefit associations, and distribute much real and beneficial charity and aid to fellow members and the widows and orphans of deceased brethren. The cardinal ideas of Masonry have perhaps always been a high morality founded on the Bible, and a law of mutual protection of a brother toward a brother.
A lodge was chartered in Cadiz on the first day of September, 1841, under the name of Cadiz Lodge, No. 121. The first officers were William C. Grafton, W. M., Matthew Maya, S. W., and Joel Wilson, J. W. The society held meetings at different houses until 1850, at which time a large and commodious hail was built in connection with the Christian Church, the Masons occupying the upper story. The society at one time was the strongest in the county, but of recent years, owing to the establishment of other lodges in the neighboring villages, its membership has considerably diminished, until now there are only about thirty-eight names on the roll. The present officers are: A. F. Rash, W. M.; P. H. Allen, S. W.; John C. Curling, J. W.; B. W. Major, Treas.; J. F. Gentry, Sec.; J. D. Shaw, S. D.; Armstead Moody, J. D.; John W. Russell, Steward and Tyler.
Cadiz Lodge, No. 1,685, K. of H., was organized on the 19th of August, 1880, with the following charter members, to wit: John G. Jefferson, J. B. Edwards, John W. Pursley, W. T. Smoot, Thomas L. Bacon, Thomas T. Watson, C. H. Hawkins, John D. Shaw, H. B. Wilkinson, U. Willis Lindsay, F. U. Terry, W. C. White, M. S. Thompson and R. A. Burnett. The present membership is fifty-six. The present officers (1884) are: G. W. Lindsay, P. D.; John U. Jefferson, D.; W. L. Hiliman, V. D.; W. T. Smoot, Assist. D.; M. S. Thompson, Sec.; F. (1. Terry, Financial Reporter; H. B. Wilkinson, Treas.; T. T. Watson, Chaplain; Perry Thomas, Jr. Guide; John D. Shaw, Sr. Guide, and J. W. Russell, Guardians.
