Something doesn't add up here ? FAG burial in Sandy Creek says spouse is Martha Strickland and there is a Frank and Martha in the census that match, with Stricklands. Martha supposedly died in 1912.

But .... The widow named in his pension in Mary in 1915. And there are a Frank and Mary Russell living in Sandy Creek Township in 1900 which also seems to match some records.

There are 2 Frank Russell’s in the roster but one listed on the free space page under research notes had no dates. A challenge separating the two
posted by Andrew Simpier
That makes more sense that there are 2. By the enl/dis dates in sources 3 and 4 listing death as April 20, 1915, widow is Mary, so I think FAG is attached to the wrong Frank, but who knows! Tough one. I found a Mary Russell buried in Sandy Creek area on FAG but that memorial is basically blank.
