  WALTER M. RUSSELL, one of Appleton's highly respected retired citizens, who established the first exclusive hardware store in the city, was engaged in business here for a number of years. Mr. Russell is a native of New Hampshire, born June 7, 1830, son of Ephriam and Martha (Meriam) Russell, natives of that State, where Ephraim Russell died. His widow came to Wisconsin in her later years and passed away here. Walter M. Russell secured his education and grew to manhood in New Hampshire, and in June, 1855, came to Appleton, establishing himself in the hardware business in partnership with a Mr. Galpin. After this connection had continued for some years, Mr. Russell disposed of his interest in the business and became associated with A. A. Babcock, with whom he remained until 1883, and then went to Plankinton, South Dakota, at which place he made his residence until 1907, and then returned to Appleton, where he has since lived retired. He bought a comfortable residence, and is now enjoying the fruits of his long years of business activities. Although advanced in years, Mr. Russell is still hale and hearty and in possession of his faculties, and he can look back over a long and useful life. In 1856, Mr. Russell was married to Miss Cornelia Hillard, in Rome, New York, and to this union there were born five children, of whom four are still living, as follows: Charles, who resides at Humbird, Wisconsin; Nellie, who married M. D. Packard and makes her home in Oshkosh; Frank and Ray, residing in Fond du Lac. Mrs. Russell died in Appleton March, 1873, and in November, 1873, Mr. Russell married Anna Wilder, and to this union were born four children: Winnifred, who resides at home; Archie, of Sturgis, South Dakota; Merrian, who died while Mr. Russell was residing at Plankinton, S. D., and Hazel, who resides at home. James and Merrian are deceased. Mr. Russell attends the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Appleton. Although not actively engaged in politics, he takes a keen interest in local matters, and gives his influence to those candidates whom his judgment tells him will labor best in behalf of the community.
