Here's the 1900-1930 census info I could find. And several listings
from MN
death index.
Should maybe join a Ramsey County, MN, message board to see if anyone
can
look for possible obit/death notice for Russell, and obits for these
RUEL
siblings of Russel, they might give some clues to living relatives. If
Russell was ever married it was after 1930 and before his 1972 death;
MN
does not have any marriage records online for that time period that I
could
find; not any birth records of his children;
