Hello Alan,
I've been compiling a genealogy of the Geoffrion family and am aware of Arthur Russell. I have been unable to find out what happened to him or where he went. He does not appear in the census of 1910, 1920 or 1930 leading me to think he either died, changed his name or left the country. His brother Victor Oscar moved to California and then to Manhatten.
If you would like to know about the rest of the Geoffrions send me a note at
fgeoff@comcast.net.
