Russell was born on September 29, 1896, to Hugh and Cora (nee Rowe) Burgar.
In 1900 his parents took him, his older sister Urith (b 1895), and younger brother Hiram (b 1899) and moved to Alberta. Their family were accompanied by his grandparents, Frederick and Eliza Burgar, and his aunt Catherine Burgar.
