Albert was the son of Charles Whitlock Calfee and Nancy D. Bailey. He was born in just outside of Princeton, Mercer Co., VA (now WV).
Albert served as a private, Co. A, 17th Cavalry. He had enlisted in Princeton, WV and became the enrolling officer of Mercer Co., WV. He was discharged on 31 December, 1864, and paroled at Charleston on 23 January 1865.
In August, 1864, Albert was riding from the residence of Col. William H. French to the Princeton court house with his brother John C. Calfee and friend Elisha Heptinstal, when John and Elisha were killed by marauders and thieves.
In the 1880 Census, Albert B. Calfee is found to be a patient in the Trans-Allegheny Asylum for the Insane, Weston, Lewis Co., WV, later known as the Weston State Hospital. A possible explanation for his condition was that his brothers James, George, Harvey, and John were all killed or died of disease during the war. He was listed as a farmer from West Virginia, and the cause of death was listed as "epilepsy." The name on his death record was "Alfred B. Calfee."
