- The marriage record of Samuel Tilden Russell & Clara Erskine says he was a widower when they married in 1916. His first wife, Sarah Blankenship survived him, passing in 1941. So it is unclear if Samuel had a second wife briefly before Clara; who died during the time his first wife was remarried once or twice.

Goldie M. Catron, b. 3 Jan 1898, WV , d. 13 Aug 1985, Volusia Co, FL (Age 87 years) |
Married |
Betw 1928-1930 |
WV |
- I haven't found any record of the marriage between Samuel and Goldie. However, she is living with him in the 1930 census after his wife's passing in 1928, and Samuel's 1936 death certificate shows her as his wife. When Goldie also passed away in Florida, she was buried in the same Florida community where Samuel's & Clara's daughter, Thelma, and her husband, Tarzan Atkins, were buried. Footnote: Although one might think they were married by "common law"; neither Virginia nor West Virginia has ever recognized common law marriages except in special circumstances involving a common law marriage legally documented as taking place in another state (which was not the case).
