Cause of Death: Hattie was born deaf
Hattie was born completely deaf. As a result she could not speak - My father, George William Russell, remembers spending a great deal of time with his Aunt Hattie. Although she couldn't hear or speak, Hattie was a consummate lip-reader (anda Hell of a card player). Dad tells of going to see silent films with her and she would be cackling in glee before the captions emerged on the screen. She hadalready lip-read the actors. -RDR 12/02


The family names and dates are asaccurate as I can possibly make them. Wherever possible I looked for confirmation from two or more sources. When relying on other family Gedcoms and researchI invariably triple-checked the sources against related Gedcoms
