Campbell Russell was born in 1863. He moved to Indian Territory between 1880 and 1882, settling in the Muscogee Nation (present-day Muskogee County). He later owned 27,000 head of cattle through his Prairie Stock Farm in Warner. He founded and funded the first free school for white children in Indian Territory. He built a four classroom school in 1905 and donated it to the town.[1]
