Collection Overview

Title: John Hooe Russel Papers, 1870-1942

Extent: 2.24 Cubic Feet

Date Acquired: 05/30/2002

Abstract

The John Hooe Russel Papers consist primarily of correspondence and financial materials from Russel's mercantile businesses and his administrative involvement in the Huntington National Bank of Huntington, West Virginia. There are also other documents and publications that represent late 19th Century ephemera. The Correspondence Series contains personal letters between the Col. and Mrs. Caperton and the Russels, both John Hooe and Minerva Phelps, Russel's second wife and mother to Albert Lacy Russel, as well as, other letters from Russel acquaintances and family members.

Scope and Contents of the Materials

John Hooe Russel was a successful 19th Century business man and banker who married into the Phelps family of Madison County, KY not once but twice. The John Hooe Russel Papers consist of the surviving financial materials from Russel's mercantile venture with I. Erkskine Miller of Stauton, VA, and his involvement with the Huntington National Bank. The papers also include a large volume of correspondence from his personal life and other business ventures. After a three year stint in business with Miller waned, Russel moved back to Huntsville where he continued to run a grocery. In 1873 he migrated to Huntington, WV to continue his trade by opening the first Huntington grocery store. In 1875 Russel, Col. Peter Buffington and a few other investors opened the Huntington National Bank, which acted as the town's sole bank for some time. Russel also became heavily involved in real estate in the Huntington region. He eventually became the acting President of the Huntington National Bank, a position that he held until his death on 6 Jan 1903.

The John Hooe Russel Papers contain a variety of materials from his professional and home life. They also contain private correspondence from his first marriage to Nettie Phelps of Madison County Kentucky, and his second marriage to Minerva Phelps of the same. Nettie and Minerva were cousins by birth; their respective fathers being brothers. After the premature death of Nettie in November 1896 and their only son a few months later, Russel continued to maintain a close relationship with his in-laws. The connection to his widow's family (Samuel Phelps) culminated in a second marriage to a Phelps descendant, Minerva (daughter of Thomas Phelps), on 8 May 1901. They remained in Huntington until Russel's death, which left behind a distraught widow and son, Albert Lacy Russel. The Correspondence Series also contains extensive materials from Russel family members and other friends and acquaintances. Even though the collection seems incomplete, it does provide excellent context for the professional lifestyle and interests of a prominent late 19th Century Southern capitalist, banker and business man.

His papers should be considered in conjunction with the Caperton/Burnam Family Papers and other collections that were compiled by other Kentucky and West Virginia elites. In particular, An Accumulation of Family Evidence, a three volume set written by Katherine Phelps Caperton (See Caperton/Burnam Family Papers), contains a great deal of information about Russel's life and ancestry.

Series 2: CorrespondenceAdd to your cart.
The bulk of the John Hooe Russel Papers consists of Correspondence.  The Series is arranged chronologically, with general correspondence that is dated before Russel married Minerva Cobb Phelps being at the front of the series.  The general correspondence consists of the public and private correspondence that Russel received before the premature death of Nettie Phelps Russel, his first wife who was also a cousin of his second wife Minerva.  The Series then transitions into the materials that were from his second marriage; beginning around the time of the death of Nettie Russel, his first wife.  This latter correspondence should be investigated in conjunction with the Caperton/Burnam Family Papers, which is where the Hooe Russel Papers where originally housed.  The materials from his second marriage represent a clear transition in Russel's life which is why the contents that relate to this period in his life were addressed as separate subseries within the correspondence; not to mention, the later correspondence contains fewer materials that are associated with Russel's successful shipping ventures.  By the time Russel married Minerva he was very well established as both a banker and confidant of the various governing bodies of West Virginia.
