====== Russell, Norman Henry ====== (died late 1941, aged 67), businessman. Born at Tyotown, GC. Parents: Mr and Mrs Peter Russell. Norman Henry Russell settled at Prince Albert, in what is now Saskatchewan, in 1893, and was a livestock-buyer. Before the First World War, he and F.C. Baker erected the “Russell-Baker packing plant” in Prince Albert. This meat plant supplied “all the surrounding lumber camps and mills,” and killed as many as 50 cattle and 150 hogs a day. The plant was sold to Burns & Co. in 1917. The existence of the plant was regarded as a reason for the decision of the Burns Co. to establish on a large scale in Prince Albert. After the sale, Russell farmed and was a livestock buyer. He died at his home at Prince Albert. Roman Catholic. In 1903 he was married to Laura McDonald. (children surviving him: 9) He was one of five brothers who pioneered in the Prince Albert area (besides himself, these were George, Frank, John and Joshua). ---- Obituary (mainly from unnamed Prince Albert newspaper) //Standard Freeholder// 28 Nov. 1941 (QF) [<6>]
