Calvin Albright, 65 years of age, and a resident of Tipton since a small child, died at the home of his brother, Willard Albright on South Main street about 11:30 Wednesday night. Deaths ended an illness which started five weeks ago, but he did not take to his bed until about ten days ago. Liver trouble and anemia caused death, the attending physician stating he was practically devoid of blood and that his condition was such that a transfusion could not be attempted.
The death of Calvin Albright removed from Tipton a man who was known by practically everybody and a man of many attainments. For years he had been connected with the building trade in this county, both as a mason and contractor. For the past 15 years he had been associated with his brother, Willard, in the contracting of masonry work and the manufactures of cement blocks and other articles made of cement. He was an expert with a trowel and possessed an ingenious and inventive mind, which aided hi much in his work. Mr. Albright had worked on many of the business blocks and public buildings of this community, either as employee or contractor, and in practically all parts of the county. He also had worked in other cities at times, being in Muncie for some time. While residing in that city some 25 years ago, he met with an accident when struck by a train and received an injury which made him a cripple for the remainder of his life.
Mr. Albright was a man who read much and was well posted on current and past history, being active in politics in Tipton for many years. He was also a student of law and at one time was candidate for prosecuting attorney on the Socialist ticket.
Mr. Albright came to Tipton as a small boy with his parents, William R. and Ellen Albright, his father removing here from a farm when he was elected sheriff of the county in 1874. His father died shortly after retiring from office and the mother remarried to Luther Welshons, a former recorder of this county. The mother and step-father are both deceased.
Surviving relatives are the brother, Willard, at whose home he died and a sister, Mrs. Elmer Crane of Indianapolis. He is also survived by several nephews and nieces all residing in Tipton.
