Robert Russell was born on a Thursday, Nov. 5, 1953, at 7:20 A.M., at the Ashland General Hospital. After trying the Dr.s on the Monthan Air Force Base, in Tucson, AZ. and having too many Dr.s examine me, I wanted to come back to Ashland and had my own Dr. Edward E. Brown deliver it. Dr. Brown took a couple of pictures of Russell and gave the picture & negatives to me, later. Ada & Theo came down and got me and brought me back home. Russell was the largest baby I had, at 9 lbs. 2 oz. I waited until he was a couple of weeks old, before taking my first airplane ride on a DC 4, back to Tucson, AR.
There was an epidemic in Tucson, that year, that they called the 1 hour pneumonia. We heard of many babies that had died, but this is something that happened to other people. But, he died on Dec. 15th, 1953, in the morning. Marvin was being mustered out of the service, so I was trying to get things packed and ready. I was an awful shock to me. Ada, Theo and my mother drove down for the funeral. We left right after the funeral and I didn't make it back to see his little grave until 40 years later. Then, I was able to finally let him go.
My son, Les, took my 2nd husband, Cliff, and I to see the grave in 1993. It was in a section, called Babyland, where the graves aren't crammed against each other. The bronze marker, that Ada & Ted bought for him, still looks good. I told Les that I didn't remember any trees, when we buried him. Les said to think about it and how much trees can grow in 40 years. That's when I decided that I'd never move him, that he's in a beautiful place.
I flew down to spend some time with Les, over Labor Day, 1999 and we returned to visit the plot again. Les was born a year after Russell, but has a brotherly bond with him, as he has visited the grave several times, by himself.
