"The Hunt for Louie B Russ" MJH: Sep 2001 Linda Green had as Louie B's last address: 272 Crow Road Glasgow G11 7LB; from memory she said it was 96/97 when Xmas cards stopped. Louie was someone interested in Russ family history - could be a descendant of F H Russ of Glasgow? Jan 2002: death certificates of LBR and her grandfather Frank Henry Russ confirm this. Feb 2002: Louie B moved from 272 Crow Rd into a residential/care home at 234 Crow Rd before her death in 1966; under her will, of which we now have a copy she left a large number of small legacies and the bulk of her large estate to 18 charities. She requested that her "whole body be interred in the family lair (Section N, No.797/8) in the Western Necropolis, Glasgow." Leads are being followed up. 12 Feb 2002: JS writes: "Miss Louie Burton Russ was well known to me. She resided in the tenement flat at 234 Crow Road, some 200 yards from the terrace house I occupied for 27 years. She was a very kenspective figure in the Broomhill area of Glasgow. Latterly, she entered a private nursing home, Clarence Court, about 100 yards from her former flat. Miss Russ was for several years a very active and forthright committee member of the Hillhead Conservative and Unionist Party Ladies Section. My late wife acted as Treasurer; thus, I was in the company of Miss Russ at various social functions conducted by the Ladies Section, and also at the more general deliberations of the Unionist Party in Glasgow. She impressed as a very shrewd lady. 22 Feb 2002: CAA writes: "Louie was a very fine person who worked with books, and loved them almost like members of her family. She was a very spiritually minded person, who tried to live out her Christian beliefs. She was also a very private person, who was a faithful friend to a few people rather than everyone's friend."
