John Jackson served in Company A and B, First Arkansas Infantry from 14 February 1863 to 10 August 1865. He was blind because of measles that he contracted during the Civil War.
His children's birthdates are from his pension records.
The office of the IOOF Cemetery gave information that John Jackson Russell was buried in Section C, Row 6, Space 9. Recently the office told another person that he was buried in Section C, Row 9, Plot 100, Grave 6.

John Jackson Russell does not have a tombstone, although cemetery records show that he is buried here. Because he was a Union Soldier, his family could apply for a Free Military Tombstone. John's death certificate shows that he was buried here and the cemetery office has confirmed that he is buried in Section C, Row 6, Space 9.
At the time of his death, John Jackson Russell, was living with his daughter, Susan Ella RUSSELL Cottrell in Washington. The information on his death certificate was provided by "Mrs. H. F. Cottrell" (that was Susan).
John served in the Union Army, Co. A and Co. B, 1st Arkansas Infantry from February 1863 to 10 August 1865. His brothers, Stephen Taylor Russell and Bennett Russell, also served in the 1st Arkansas Infantry.
John contracted measles while serving during the Civil War which resulted in him being blind.
