Mss MArILDA ". RUSSELL DEAD.
A Heroine Cone to Her Re,card.


Miss Tillie Russell, daughter of Mrs.
Eliza and the late Isaac Russell, died at
the home of her mother in Winchester
on Monday morning last at IL. Is o'clock,
after an illness of some weeks. In the
death of this lady whole community is
bereaved. Excellency marked every one
of her numerous traits of character. She
was not only beautiful in person but
lovely in disposition. She was known
to every body in Winchester, and
None knew her but to love her,
None named her but to praise.
During the war her devotion to the
cause of the South was intense. She fed
and clothed aud cbeered and nursed the
Confederate who needed such ministra.
ton and aided some to avoid capture,
and others imprisoned to escape. And
all through the years since she has been
a most devoted Daughter of the Confed
eracy-caring for and keeping green the
graves of heroes. During the war she
was the heroine of battlefield incident
that has gone into history and been por-
trayed on canvass. A young staff officer
was found desperately wounded. The
surgeon had no hope that he could live
through the night unless he be kept
where he was perfectly still. To re-
move him would be fatal. Miss Russell
took her seat beside him upon the ground
and during the weary watches of the
night. with only the dead and wounded
about her, held his head motionless in
her lap. He was stranger to her-she
only knew that he "wore the gray" and
hoped that her ministry might preserve
his life. And it did. She was conse-
Grated woman-a member of the Loudoun
street Presbyterian Church; active in all
things pertaining to the beneicent
schemes OF the church. In her family
relations she was lovely and greatly be-
loved. She is survived by her devoted
mother, now beyond four score years,
and by brothers and sisters, nephews and
nieces who will tenderly and sacredly
cherish memory of her beautiful and
bIameless life.-Free Press
