First buried in Webb family Cemetery in the New River Horseshoe bottom of Pulaski Virginia During WWII the Gov. acquired the Horseshoe lands for the building of the Radford Arsenal, and Jamie and Elizabeth and the rest of the Alberts were reburied behind Harvey Milton's homestead on the hill with an entrance to the graveyard on Rt. 652, in Longshop (Blacksburg postal code) Virginia in Montgomery county.
"Mountain Lake" as it is now known, was only a small pond in the center of a
deep hollow, into which flowed several springs. The following account is from Elisabeth Williams Albert, wife of James Frederick Albert II: "When my husband James Frederick Albert was
courting me (before 1827 when married) he told me the following account. His family lived near
there and he would follow the narrow mt. trail down into the depression where there was a small
pond where he would place salt for the families cattle that ranged the mountain and came there for
water. This is how the Mountain became Salt Pond Mountain and the lake was called Salt Pond by
early settlers."
