250	Notes for Russell Houston Attorney, Judge, chief counsel of the Louisville & Nashville RR (L&N) for over 25 years, later President of the same company. Also, later Judge, Supreme Court of TN Russell Houston from Lawyers and Lawmakers of Kentucky, pp. 190-191: Home More RUSSELL HOUSTON, one of the eminent law practitioners of Kentucky, was born in Williamson county, Tennessee, January 20, 1810, and died in Louisville October 1, 1895, The family of which he was a representative removed from South Carolina to Tennessee in 1795. Russell Houston was educated in Georgetown College, Kentucky, studied law under the direction of James Clark, in Nashville, Tennessee, and entered on the practice in 1835, at Columbia, Tennessee. He took an active part in the Indian war in Florida, and after returning therefrom in 1847, settled in Nashville, where he was associated in the active practice with Colonel Cahal, Judge A. O. P. Nicholson, Judge Nathaniel Baxter and Neil S. Brown, all distinguished members of that bar. He was without political ambition and filled but one office, that of representative in the Tennessee legislature in 1851-2 Mr. Houston took an active interest in the developments of his native state and in the building of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, was one of the first directors of the company in Tennessee and was thenceforth continuously connected with the corporation. In 1864 be removed to Louisville and filled the office of vice-president of the road until the death of Hon. James Guthrie, when he became president. In the establishment of the law department as a separate branch of the railroad service he was tendered and accepted the position of chief counsel, which he held until his death. Mr. Houston was singularly vigorous in mind and body, was a dose observer of men and possessed a retentive memory and a genial temperament. He was a Unionist throughout the war and a stanch friend of Andrew Johnson in the administration of the affairs of his native state in the re-adjustment during the war. By the appointment of Mr. Johnson while governor of Tennessee, Mr. Houston filled a place on the bench of the supreme court d that state for a time, helping to bring order out of chaos. He refused to accept any salary for the time he served, his labors being freely given for the good of the commonwealth He held a commanding position at the bar and had the respect and confidence of the people. from Memorial History of Louisville, pp. 356-358: Home RUSSELL HOUSTON, eminent as a member of the Kentucky bar for more than twenty-five years, and for twenty-five years before that one of the leading members of the bar of Tennessee, was born in Williamson County, Tennessee January 20, 1810 and died in Louisville, full of years and honors October 1, 1895. His father, David Houston-who was a son of John Houston of South Carolina as a planter, and married Hannah Reagan, of that State, in 1795. Shortly after his marriage he moved to Tennessee, where he resided until the subject of this sketch was eight years of age at which time having purchased a large tract of land in Alabama, he moved his family, and settled in that State. As soon as they were settled in their new home, a teacher was engaged and his sons were there prepared for college. Russell Houston first attended college at Georgetown, Kentucky, but subsequently entered the University of Nashville, from which he graduated. He studied law with Mr. James Clark, a lawyer of high standing at the Nashville bar, and began the practice of his profession in 1835 at Columbia, Tennessee. Among his first friends and clients in his new home was ex-President James K. Polk, whose friendship and kindness to him on the threshold of his professional career was a recollection that he ever delighted to recall. The Florida Indian War breaking out shortly after he commenced the practice of his profession, he was one of the first volunteers from his State, enlisting in Colonel Cahal's regiment Colonel Cahal was so impressed by young Houston's character and mind during the months passed together in Florida that at the close of the war he tendered him a partnership, which was accepted. In 1844 he married Grizelda Polk, daughter of Dr. William J. Polk, who was a brother of Bishop Leonidas Polk, and in 1847 he moved to Nashville, where his reputation had preceded him. He soon took high rank at the bar, which at the time numbered among its members some of the ablest lawyers of the country. Besides Colonel Cahal, he had associated with him as partner in his practice in Tennessee Judge A. O. P. Nicholson, of Columbia, Governor Neil S. Brown and Judge Nathaniel Baxter, of Nashville, all of whom were lawyers of distinguished abilities. Judge Houston was wholly without political ambition and never offered for office but once. He took great interest in the development of his State, and to promote its development by assisting in securing liberal legislation, he was induced to offer for the Legislature, to which he was elected, serving in the sessions of 1851 and 1852. When the Louisville & Nashville Railroad was projected, he look an active interest in it, and contributed much toward achieving its successful consummation, taking a leading part in obtaining such legislation in Tennessee as was necessary to enable the Kentucky corporation to extend the line of its road into Nashville. He was one of the first directors of the company in the State of Tennessee, and was continuously connected with the corporation in different capacities from that time to the day of his death. In 1864 Judge Houston moved to the city of Louisville, and at the earnest solicitation of the Hon. James Guthrie--who was president of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad?accepted the vice-presidency of the company, which he held until Mr. Guthrie's death, whom he succeeded as president, filling out the former's term. Soon after this, the law department of the company was established, and Judge Houston was tendered and accepted the position of chief counsel, which he held continuously to the day of his death. In politics, Judge Houston affiliated with the Whig party as long as that party was in existence, and after the war with the Democratic party. When the dominant political issue became union or disunion he took a firm stand for the Union, a strong love and pride of country being one of his striking characteristics. His commanding position at the bar and his high character as a man gave him weight and influence with the military authorities in Nashville, which he exerted in behalf of his Southern friends, saving many from hardships and trials they would otherwise have been subjected to. When the Supreme Court of Tennessee was reorganized under the administration of Governor Andrew Johnson, he appointed Mr. Houston to a position on that bench, which the latter accepted at the urgent request of the governor consenting to serve only long enough to get the judicial machinery into satisfactory operation. When he had accomplished this he resigned the office and refused to accept any salary for his services. Johnson had the highest opinion of his ability as a lawyer and jurist, and after the former became President, he again manifested his high appreciation of Judge Houston by declaring it to be his purpose to tender him a position in the Supreme Court of the United States, should a vacancy on that bench occur during his administration. Vigorous physically and mentally far beyond the age at which most men succumb to the weight of years, he was a strikingly interesting man during the latter years of his life. Acute in his observations, rich in experiences and reminiscences, he was singularly attractive to the younger men of his profession, who entertained for him almost a filial regard. The esteem in which he was held by his fellow citizens was evidenced at the time of his death by the feeling tributes of respect paid his memory by the entire press of the city, and in an eloquent memorial by the bar. Judge Houston left surviving him a family consisting of Mrs. Houston and their four children, Mr. Allen P. Houston and Mrs. Lytle Buchanan of Louisville, Mrs. George H. Hull of New York, and Mrs. Joseph L. Ferrell of Philadelphia.	Houston, Russell (I1047)
