I have many favorite photos, but these show our parents as young adults.
Dad, Hugh Benjamin Russell, was 25 years old. He wasn’t as tall as the corn stalk but he was almost as thin. This was probably on the farm west of Sargent, Nebraska, where he farmed for his mother.
Mom, Grace (Jones) Ferguson Russell, was probably a teenager. It’s hard to imagine her with ice skates on, but then I was the 8th of her 8 children, so she was too busy taking care of us to have any fun! She was skating on the frozen irrigation ditch south of the house, “West End” of Loup county, Nebraska.
George and Grace (Jones) Ferguson. Ages 21 and 19 when they got married. A love story♥ I can see traits of my (half) siblings in their faces.
