  Russell does not appear in any other city directories with his parents.  Howver, an entry in 1974 may be for hikm, with an error in the name.  Lahoma and Joe with Joe's wife Peggy are reported, along with a Robt D Hendron.  They have been the only Hendron family in Santa Barbara, but no one named Robert is associated with Charles and Lahoma's family.

  "Russell, the youngest boy, committed suicide in Montana.  He was married but never had children. ... Russ inherited all of Lahoma’s money when she died and he went into several businesses that failed.  He was a very gentle, sensitive man; not sure why he would end his life."
  --  Susanne Briggs, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 8 February 2008
  
  "Chuck informed me that Russell committed suicide.  We think he lived in Oregon or Montana"

  "We were very close to my Uncle Russ when were we kids because we moved to the small town he lived in. When I was 22 or so my Uncle Russ moved to Montana with his wife and step son. Less than a year later he committed suicide. We were all very shocked of course."
