He then moved to Omaha, Nebraska, where he taught classes for the International School of Music. (Wynn, pa. 380) The following is what I have on Russell Linnell: Russell Joseph Linnell, born: Dec 14, 1893 in Charles City, Floyd Cty, Iowa died: Dec 29, 1963 in Longbeach, Los Angeles County, California [at the VA Hosp]. buried: at Fort Snelling National Cemetery, Hennepin County, Minnesota He married: Alice Eleanor Gossell in 1919 at Hewitt, Todd Cty., Minnesota. she was born Nov 1, 1893 in Prior Lake, Scott Cty, MN and died Jan 6, 1982 in Wadena, Wadena Cty, MN she was buried Jan 9, 1982 in Wadena Cemetery, Wadena Cty, MN [I'm assuming they divorced at some point as Alice and Russell both had other spouses when they died] They had two daughters that are still living: 1.

Ethelyn's address is: 131 City Lane Dr., Apt 113, Wadena, MN 56482.
