The story I was told, but don't trust anymore is that he was a reporter for a local NY newspaper
Marley Cole's "Jehovah's Witnesses - The New World Society"

If he was a reporter, then it served the WT well to have a recognised name (who was also a witness) write something they knew people would read because he was widely known and respected. I've never heard of him, or seen the book before.

Page 51 about Pastor Russell:
He was Millen- nium's foremost prophet. His successor, J. F. Rutherford, declared: "He did a greater work for the cause of Messiah's Kingdom than did any other man that ever lived on the earth." {The Watch Tower, December 1, 1916, p. 374.)
