Excerpt from Hacawa, Vol. 6: 1914 Dallas Harvey Russell was born in Mecklenburg County, N. C. on the tenth day of January, 1855. He was just seven years old when his father died, while serving in the Confederate army. Being the oldest of three children, and the only son of his widowed mother, many of the duties and responsibilities of the home fell upon his boyish shoulders. With his father dead, the country generally ravaged by war, and the estate confiscated to pay security debts, there was neither time nor money for the education of children, and, no matter how great the desire for study, it must be stifled, and the oldest boy must support the family. Thus, under most adverse circumstances, with a brave and courageous heart, a deep sense of his responsibility, and a sustaining faith in God, he took up the battles of life, and, having gone forth as a Christian soldier, the Lord crowned his efforts with success. In 1871, the family moved to Caldwell County. Here, without money or credit, with only a blind mule, the youthful head of the household lived on rented land, until by dint of persistent labor and skillful economy he was able to purchase his own farm. At that time, logging was a large and profitable industry, in which he worked between crops. Thus he labored and saved until December, 1891, when he moved to the promising town of Hickory, and entered the mercantile business. His firm name is one of the oldest in town, and stands for absolute honesty and integrity in business; and that is synonomous with success. Very early in life, Mr. Russell took a large and active interest in religion and Christian education, as he had opportunity. Many churches in this section of the country either stand on land given by him, or owe their existence to his aid and encouragement, or gratefully enroll him as a contributor.
