ALBERT RUSSELL.--A rising and promising attorney of northern California in
whom the people of Sacramento County in particular feel a natural pride, is
Clifford Albert Russell, with offices in the Capital National Bank Building. He
was born in Sacramento, on October 2, 1891, the son of William B., and Mary
(Donahue) Russell. He attended the public schools of his locality, and was then
graduated from St. Mary’s College at Oakland, and in 1914 he finished
successfully the excellent courses of the University of California with the
L.L. B. Degree. He had passed a year to great advantage in the metropolis of
the Pacific, and in the year of his graduation from the University, he returned
to Sacramento.
He was for years a Democrat, and in
February 1917, he was appointed to the office of deputy district attorney,
which he so satisfactorily filled until January, 1923, when he opened his private practice. Being
public-spirited, he naturally contributes in every way possible to the
advancement of both the city and county of Sacramento. He is a member of the
Native Sons of the Golden West, and the Eagles; and he was properly active on
all the bond drives during the war.
At Oakland, on April 3, 1916, Mr. Russell
was married to Miss Frieda Jerichau, like himself a
Roman Catholic. He belongs to the Knights of Columbus, in which he has taken
the fourth degree, and to the Young Men’s Institute, in which he is a past
grand president of the Pacific jurisdiction, and he is also an Elk. Two
children brighten the home life of Mr. And Mrs. Russell, and they bear the
names of, Elizabeth Anne and Clifford A., Jr.
