The wedding of Mr. Everett Russell and Miss Effie Williamson, both of Gravette, occurred last Tuesday, march 5, at Ft. Scott, Kans. Everett came home from Little Rock, where he has employment and joined Miss Williamson at Hume, Mo. where she had been visiting her sister. Mrs. Ferdie Dauben. From there they went to Ft. Scott and were united in marriage at the Court House, the Judge administering the legal ceremony.
This worthy young couple require no indroduction to local citizens, both are well known and among our most popular young people. The groom is the son of Mr. & Mrs. Andrew Russell ("Andy" is otherwise known as s.... the W.J. Burns of Northwest Arkansas, having apprehended more crooks and criminals than any other sheriff the county ever had.) Everett was one of Gravette's volunteer army and served in the Radio staff of Battery "D" 142nd F.A. as Corporal, spending several months overseas.
The bride, daughter of Mrs. Frank Dyer of this city is a young lady of merit and ability and enjoys the esteem and respect of our citizenship. She was educated in Gravette High School and Springfield Business college, and has been employed as stenographer most of the time since.
Everett and wife left Tuesday for Little Rock to make their home, the groom to resume his position with wholesale plumbing company, and his bride will devote herself to the noble profession of housekeeping and culinary art. However she may accept a position as stenographer later. Needless to say, the good wishes and high regards of a host of friends, including the News Herald, attend them."

15 Lefferts Place December third (1906)
My dear Effie,
Your letter was very welcome and I am delighted to hear that you have two sons. Boys are always closer to my heart even though I have none of my own.
I am also glad that your Father is with and that you are not left entriely alone with the children.

Please believe that I am actuated solely by an earnest wish for your welfare and not from any feeling of curiosity, when I say that I hope Henry has left you and your little ones well provided for. I have had such a hard life myself that I can sympathize fully with these placed in the same circumstances. John has done nothing, has not supported us since Daisy was little. If his health had been bad, I wouldn't say one word, but he has been perfectly well and he has left me to bear the brunt, and I have never been a strong woman. I am living in my Father's house and Daisy is the dearest daughter in the world. She is so sweet tempered and sunny. If she were not she could never have been so patient with her father. He has been a terrible example for her all these years. The result has been that he has killed all affection in her heart as he has in mine. He has deprived her of so much that is is hard to forgive somtimes I feel that the most charitable interpretation is that he is not in his right mind.

I have not had any photographs taken for fifteen years or more and Daisy has had none taken for some tiem, except some small ones which did not turn out well. Whe nwe have any others, I shall be very glad to send you copies, and wish that I might have yours and the the little ones.
With much love to yourself and the children.

Affectionally Yours
Marguerite R. Williamson Everett RUSSELL twin and Effie Josephine WILLIAMSON had the following children:
