Biography

Herbert Joseph Russell was born 22 April 1881 in Nassau, Bahamas to William Joseph Russell and Agnes Augusta Sturrup Russell.

He married Annie Christine Brown, daughter of Thomas Benjamin Brown and Barbara Adeline "Addy" Whitehead Brown, 14 July 1910, at Epworth Hall, Nassau. They had a daughter Helen Robina Russell born about 1911.

Mr. Russell was a dry goods merchant on Bay Street - a business he started in 1905. He was elected in 1914 to represent the Eastern District, Nassau in the House of Assembly, and worked for passage of the "Harbour Bill." He supported the secret ballot - a controversial measure that was eventually adopted in New Providence in 1939 for a period of five years (and made permanent in 1942.)
