The Doctor
Long said:
Dr. Russell was at Harris house [prior to Harris purchase]. Mama said he kept medicine in the cabinet in the kitchen there. He made rounds from house to house on his horse. After selling the farm, he went to Huntsville. He was an old man when I was a little boy. Daddy was born in 1896, and the doctor was an old man. He doctored Black people and White people. Blacks in one place in Huntsville Hospital and Whites in another.
