The late Stewart RUSSELL came to the Bend in 1840. He built vessels at Hopewell (Albert Co.) during the years from 1825 to 1833. In the latter year he removed to Salisbury and worked at spar making and general ship work with Robert RUSSELL and Alex. WRIGHT. After coming to the Bend he followed the same business for the late William HAINES, the late John STEADMAN and Mr. SALTER. In 1843, Stewart and his brother, Robert Russell, built the schooner "Aginora". The vessel sailed for several years on the American coast, but was finally lost in 1850. She last sailed from St. John in that year and was lost Dec. 23rd with all hands. The crew consisted of the following: Capt. Charles CORNWELL, brother of the wife of John McKENZIE, the present Mayor of Moncton; James ROBERTSON, sr., father of Edward ROBERTSON and late Collector of Customs Robertson, Moncton; Rufus DIMOCK and a man named STEVENS, a Nova Scotian. Capt. Adam RUSSELL, eldest son of Robert Russell and brother of William RUSSELL, now of Painsec, Moncton Parish, was also on board. Edward RUSSELL, George RUSSELL and four other sons of Stewart Russell went to the United States about the year 1844 and in 1845 made homes for themselves in different parts of the U.S., George and Edward settling in Pembroke, Maine, where the former built vessels each year until 1864, when he removed to Deering, Maine. He has since continued shipbuilding at Deering. Edward Russell occupied the shipyard at Pembroke vacated by his brother and built vessels from 1864 to 1870, when he died. James RUSSELL, real estate owner, Lutes street and John RUSSELL who holds a position in the business office of the 'Times' are also sons of the late Stewart Russell. Mrs. Russell is still living in the old house erected on Steadman street about 1850. Capt. Robert Russell also came from Salisbury to the Bend in 1840, having previously built three small schooners and a barque at the former place. After coming to the Bend, he built four vessels including the top-sail schooner "Aginora". Capt. Russell sailed in a packet schooner between the Bend and St. John, taking down deals and produce and bringing up goods. Robert Russell died at his home in Boundary Creek, three years ago at age of 85.
