Memorial service will be 11am April 23, 2021 at the Halvorson Taylor Funeral Home with a visitation 1 hour prior. Graveside services and military honors will be held at the Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery, Camp Ripley, MN on April 23, 2021. A reception following the interment will be held at the home of Mark and Jill Ness.

Russell was the son of Esther and Andrew Ness and was born on September 25, 1924. He was baptized and confirmed in the Fridhem Lutheran Church in Lengby, MN where he grew up on a small farm, attended country school and graduated from Fosston High School in 1942.

He served in the U.S. Navy during WWII in the North Atlantic and Mediterranean on the Destroyer Escort US William T. Powell. After the war he lived briefly in Bagley, MN where he married Leona L. Hilliard of Lengby on July 14, 1946 and they moved to Brainerd in 1947. Together they had two sons Brig. Gen. Mark R. Ness (retired USAF), and Dr. Bradley D. Ness, DDS.

Russell and Leona were avid members of the 1st Presbyterian Church of Brainerd for many years in a variety of leadership roles. Russell was a longtime member of the Brainerd Kiwanis, American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He volunteered regularly with Crow Wing County Social Services.

Russell was a federal employee at Camp Ripley, MN and a longtime member of the Minnesota Army National Guard. After 30 years of government service, he retired in 1984 as the Senior State Auditor for the U.S. Property and Fiscal Office (USPFO) and from the Nation Guard at the rank of Sergeant Major.

Russ loved spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren, wood-working and wood carving projects, and traveling to his winter home in Tucson, AZ with Leona. He will be sorely missed for his kindness, quiet and gentle personality, and a genuine spirit of great character, generosity and integrity. Lost to us are his uplifting and delightful sense of humor and positive outlook. He was admired for his religious conviction evident in his caring lifelong example.

Russell is survived by his son Mark Ness and Jill (Thompson) of Baxter, grandson Andrew Ness of Minneapolis, step-grandsons Ben Ramsland, Tom and Chelsea (Nester) Ramsland, and John Ramsland. He is also survived by grandchildren Emily Ness (Adolfo Castro) of Woodbury and Kirsten Ness of Alexandria, great grandchildren Leona, Lily and Logan Ramsland of Colorado Springs and Kai Castro of Woodbury.

Anna Eleanor Nestaval died on 13 April 1916 at Pokegama Tuberculosis Sanatorium, Pokegama, Pine Co., Minnesota, at age 33.⁸

Following from The Faribault Republican Newspaper of 21Apr1916 Friday, page 6 column 2.
Mrs. Anna Nestaval Kaisersatt, wife of County Auditor Kaisersatt, died Thursday evening at the sanitarium at Pokegama, where she has been a patient for the last six months. She had been ill with a serious throat trouble for two or three years. Everything possible had been done, but nothing availed. Leaves little daughter motherless. For a year the family had been apprehensive that she could not recover, it being feared that she could not overcome the malady which resisted the best medical skill that could be procured, and it having been found no climatic change was beneficial. In recent weeks it was apparent that she could not long survive, and a month ago Mr. Kaisersatt and her father and mother were called to her bedside. She rallied, and was better for a little time, but within the last week no hope was held out. Mr. Kaisersatt received a message barely in time to catch the 11:40 Milwaukee train Thursday, but it was not known whether he reached his destination before her death or not. About 9 o'clock Thursday night he phoned the sad news back to Faribault.
Mrs. Kaisersatt was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Nestavel [sic], who live near Montgomery. Both father and mother survive, and there are six sisters, one brother and one step-brother. The sisters are Mrs. Thomas Skluzacek of Lonsdale, Mrs. Elizabeth Hubbard, who has been in Faribault during the past winter, and the Misses Rose, Beatrice, Stella, and Genevieve. Edward lives near Montgomery and the step-brother, Frank Nestaval, lives at Salida, Colorado. Mrs. Kaisersatt leaves, besides her husband, one little daughter, Harriet, who has been staying with her grandparents since the mother's absence from home. J.F. McCarthy went to Pokegama Friday morning, and with Mr. Kaisersatt, will accompany the body to Faribault. They are expected to arrive Friday night, and announcement of the funeral will be made Saturday. Burial will be made at Maple Lawn.⁸

She was buried at Maple Lawn Cemetery, Faribault, Rice Co., Minnesota.³

Had Proof of Marriage Eligibility
Storm Lake, Ia., Sept. 8.-Special: H. E. Holden, clerk of the district court here, claims to have witnessed a most unusual method of identification among seekers of marriage licenses when James Ellsworth Darnell, 35, and Beatrice Nestaval, 29, both of Minneapolis, produced a copy of divorce proceedings in the clerk's office this afternoon in an effort to prove Mr. Darnell's identity.
After the license was issued, the groom-to-be requested Clerk Holden, who is a retired minister, to perform the ceremony. But the clerk, fearing perhaps that the second venture might follow the first to matrimonial disaster, declined to officiate in his ministerial capacity.
