NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Alfred Francis Russell

Alfred Francis Russell (born 25 August 1817 in Kentucky, USA - 4 April 1884 in Liberia) was the President of Liberia from 1883 - 1884. He immigrated to Liberia in 1833 with his mother and four siblings. He served as a Methodist missionary and later owned a large coffee and sugarcane farm. Russell remained in the ministry and served in the Senate as well. He was elected vice-president under Anthony William Gardiner in 1881, becoming President of Liberia on the latter's resignation due to poor health. This may have been caused by cancer, although studies of the corpse show terminal brain damage.
