Daniel Russell (July 10, 1824 – January 23, 1907) was an American politician who was a member of the Massachusetts Senate from 1879 to 1880.
Russell was born on July 10, 1824, in Providence, Rhode Island. He left school at the age of sixteen to work as a carriage painter. In 1847, he moved to Boston and worked as a clothing salesman. After three years with Edward Locke & Co., Russell moved to Isaac Fenno & Co., where he became a partner in 1861. He retired in 1869 due to poor health, but his health eventually recovered.[1]
In 1852, Russell moved to Melrose, Massachusetts. He was the president of the Melrose Savings Bank and a director of the Malden and Melrose Gas Company. He served on the town's board of selectmen and water loan sinking fund commission.[1] From 1879 to 1880, he represented the 6th Middlesex District in the Massachusetts Senate.[2] He was a delegate to the 1880 Republican National Convention.[1]
