Biography

Belle was born in 1887, daughter of Joseph Tryon (abt.1854-1894) and Flora Belle (Bissonette) Parker (1867-1962). She married Earnest Russell in 1905 and they had four children. She died in 1963.

From her FindAGrave profile: After the death of her father and her mother Flora's marriage to Charles Parker, Belle was given to the Russell family (James & Amanda) to be raised. Belle was adopted by James & Amanda Russell in 1897 and her name changed from Flora B Tryon to Belle Clara Russell. She married her adopted father's nephew Ernest Russell in 1905. Note that this does not fit with her birth record that give her name as Belle Clara Tryon, not Flora B.
