Mrs. Fannie Louisa Russell Brush
Fannie Louisa Russell was born October twenty second, 1857, to
The Honorable Charles Cowan and Louisa Moorehead Russell. Mr. Russell was a banker and served as a member of the State Constitutional Convention. He was a clerk of common pleas and secretary of the Greenwood Cemetery Trustees. Fannie’s mother died in 1871 and her father in 1880. Fannie had three brothers: Washington was born in 1849 and died in 1874. Henry was born about 1852 and died in 1877. Albert was born in 1853 and died in 1881. All three brothers died childless.
On October 1883, Fannie without a maternal family, married Doctor Edmund Cone Brush. The new Mrs. Brush was quite, modest, and devoted to her husband and children. She had many friends and was active in civic and social groups both local and statewide. Mrs. Brush was a member of Central Presbyterian Church. Doctor Brush graduated from Starling Medical College at Columbus, Ohio. He was a member of the Sons of the American Revolution and in 1896 became Brigadier-General of the Ohio National Guard. Dr. and Mrs. Brush made their home on Seventh and then Market Street in Zanesville, Ohio. The couple became the parents of seven children.
The first child of Fannie Brush was Edmund R. Brush. Edmund was born November the second 1884. He became a surgeon. Edmund married Ruth E. Evans and they became the parents of Martha and Ruth. The young doctor died following surgery at the Cleveland Clinic, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, in 1941. He is buried in the Brush family plot at Woodlawn Cemetery. Daughter, Martha, was born in 1920 and married Geoffrey H. Arvin in 1950. Following Mr. Arvin’s death, Martha married William Myers Eyster. To this union, Edmund Eyster was born in Dover, Pennsylvania. Edmund is last found in 2002 in Dover, Pennsylvania. Martha Brush Eyster died in 1975 and William Eyster died in 1971. Daughter, Ruth, was born in 1924 and married Charles A. Frass, in 1950. Ruth Brush Frass died a widow in Bexley, Franklin County, Ohio, in 1990.
Alice Russell Brush was Fannie Brush’s second child. She was born March thirteenth 1886. Alice married Fred D. McGlashan in 1914. There were no children. Alice and Fred are buried in Woodlawn Cemetery. After the death of his wife, Alice, Fred McGlashan married Ruth Evans. The obituary of Ruth Evans McGlashan, who died in 1978 in Zanesville, lists Martha Brush Arvin Eyster and Ruth Brush Frass as her children.
Fannie Brush’s third child was Russell Brush. He was born January twenty-eighth 1889. He died in 1909 of an accidental drowning at Waterford, Washington County, Ohio. Russell had received his appointment to a cadetship at the West Point Military Academy. While enjoying a vacation before heading to New York, Russell went to Beach View Hotel eighteen miles south of McConnelsville with his sister and some friends. While enjoying the Muskingum River, Russell stepped into deep water. Unfortunately Russell could not swim nor could his companions. He is buried in the Brush family plot at Woodlawn Cemetery.
The fourth child of Fannie Brush was Fanny Margaret Brush who was born the seventeenth of February 1890. On the twenty third of April 1913, Fanny married Lawrence Colbert Hoskins. The Hoskins did not have children. They were buried at Woodlawn Cemetery,
Fannie’s fifth child was Charles Russell Brush who was born
November twelfth 1892. He married Grace Rebecca Curtis and they were the parents of Jane who was born in 1917. Charles died the twenty ninth of January 1949 in Los Angeles, California. He is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, Los Angeles County, California. Jane, who did not marry, died in 1996.
The sixth child of Fannie Brush was Albert Moorehead Brush who was born the second of January 1897. He was a writer and lived in New York and California, with trips abroad. Albert died the sixteenth of December 1954 in Los Angeles, California. Albert is buried at the family Plot in Woodlawn Cemetery.
Fannie Brush’s seventh child was Frank Spencer who was born the twenty seventh of February 1900. Frank suffered from tuberculosis and arthritis and died young at his parent’s home. He was an active student at Zanesville High School. Frank is buried in the Brush family plot at Woodlawn Cemetery.
When the SAR encouraged the women to form their own society, they did so in 1890. Dr. Brush may have encouraged Fannie to become a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and to organize a chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Fannie’s grandparents were Charles Russell and Mary McNabb. Her great grand parents were William Russell Sr., and Jane Sewell. Fannie’s Grandfather, William Russell, Sr., was a private in the Somerset County, New Jersey, Militia and in the Fourth Battalion, Continental Line.
Fannie’s DAR Application is undocumented but was accepted by the DAR Board of Management on the second of May 1892. Her original paper containing four generations is on file in the DAR national archives, examined and approved by Violet Blair Janin, Registrar, Mary Washington Chapter, NSDAR. Her national number is one thousand five hundred forty one (1541). Mrs. Brush also claims supplemental patriot, Moses Caton Chapline, although National does not have a record of this.
Fannie, mother of five children, gathered her friends and set about organizing a chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. She soon had the required twelve ladies who had ancestors who served in the American Revolution, to be charter members. The other eleven ladies are;
Ella Brown Abbot National Number 3,640
Mary Brown Stanberry National Number 3,642
Minerva Nye Nash National Number 3,643

Julia Francis Munson National Number 3,665

Russell Brush was elected chapter regent at the first meeting and served as regent from 1893 to 1900. Her sixth and seventh children were born during this time. She served as regent again from 1916 to 1918. In 1894, Mrs. Brush attended the national meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Washington, DC.
Fannie Louisa Russell Brush was a remarkable woman. She lost her mother when she was fourteen years old and her father when she was twenty three. Her brothers all died young. Fannie died in 1927 at the age of 70 and is buried with her husband in the Brush family plot of her in laws, Edmund and his wife Alice Sparrow Cone Brush. Her sons, Russell and Frank Spencer, predeceased her and are buried with her as well as her son Albert Moorehead Brush. Her children Edmund, Alice and Fannie as well as many of her friends are buried near her.

The one hundred eleven members and five associate members of Muskingum Chapter Society Daughters of the American Revolution are proud to recognize our organizing regent, Fannie Louisa Russell Brush, on the one hundred twenty fifth anniversary of our founding.
