Isaac Albery, pp. 963-965

An honored and prominent citizen of Hardin county is Isaac Albery, who, after a useful and strenuous career, is now living retired in the village of Hubbard, where he has a beautiful home in which he is spending his mellow Indian summer years in peace and in the midst of plenty, having no compunction for the past and no fear for the future.

Mr. Albery was born January 8, 1837, in Licking county, Ohio, and he is the son of William S. and Maria (Stagg) Albery, the latter the widow of Josiah Stagg and the daughter of Isaac and Hannah Baldwin. William S. Albery was born in Licking county, Ohio, and his wife was born in Essex county, New Jersey. William S. Albery was the son of John Albery, a native of England, who first settled in Maryland, and in an early day located in Licking county, Ohio, and there his death occurred. He was a farmer. He married Mary Myer and these children were born to them: Philip, Thomas, Peter, John, William S., Myer, Noah, Rhoda, Betsy, Polly, Hester and Eliza.

Isaac Baldwin was of Welsh stock. He lived in New Jersey for some time, then moved to Licking county, Ohio, later to Franklin county, that state, where he and his wife died. He was in turn a carpenter, millwright and farmer. These children were born to them: Thomas, Isaac, Maria, Sarah, Eliza, Samantha and Amelia.

William S. Albery was educated in the old-time public schools and he grew to maturity in Licking county, Ohio, and married there. In May, 1855, he and his family started to Hardin county, Iowa. They settled in Pleasant township on fifty-six acres of timber land, later bought the same number of acres on the prairie, then added one hundred and twelve acres, forty acres and lastly one hundred and sixty acres, becoming well-to-do there, making extensive improvements and establishing a beautiful home, becoming one of the leading citizens of Pleasant township. In connection with farming, he worked at the carpenter's trade. Politically, he was a Democrat and held several local offices, including that of trustee and school director. He held the Universalist faith and his wife belonged to the Methodist church. His death occurred in 1878 and she died in 1883. They were the parents of seven children, namely: Isaac, of this review; William is farming on the old home place in Pleasant township; Marquis D. lives at New Providence, Iowa; Jeremiah also lives at New Providence; Euphmia died young; Louisa married Thomas Spence, and they live at Everett, Washington; Amelia married J. P. Knowles and lives in Tipton township, this county.

Isaac Albery was educated in the common schools and he lived at home until his marriage, May 19, 1859, to Sarah K. Dean, who was born in Linn county, Iowa, the daughter of Robert and Catherine (Donohue) Dean, the former a native of Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, and the latter of Illinois, probably near Galesburg. They went to Linn county, Iowa, in 1837 and settled where Cedar Rapids is now located, and there Mrs. Albery was born on January 28, 1840. In 1855 Mr. Dean came to Hardin county, Iowa, and bought land in Tipton township. When the Civil war came on he enlisted in the Union army and died in the hospital at Memphis, Tennessee. His widow died on the old homestead in Tipton township, February 28, 1894. They were members of the United Brethren church. Mrs. Dean later in life married David Bowers. The following children were born to Robert Dean and wife: John, deceased; Walter S. lives in this state; Robert M. lives at Iowa Falls; Sarah K., wife of the subject; Mary and George are deceased.

Five children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Albery: Juliette died in March, 1897; Robert E. lives at Eldora, Iowa; William F. is a farmer and carpenter at DeNair, California; Earl is a harness dealer at Hubbard, Iowa; Susie lives at home and she has been dressmaking for the past fifteen years. These children were all educated in the home schools. Frank attended school at Mt. Vernon and Iowa Falls, this state. He is a registered pharmacist. Robert and Earl attended school in Hubbard and Juliette attended high school at Eldora.

The subject and wife were the first couple married in Tipton township, this county. They settled in section 36, this township, buying forty acres of valuable land for one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre. Here they established a pleasant home and developed a good farm, which they sold in 1909. They moved to Hubbard in 1905, where they own a commodious and comfortable home and four acres of valuable land.

Mr. Albery is a Democrat and has held all offices in Tipton township, always with credit and satisfaction. His wife belongs to the United Brethren church. They formerly went to church on a lumber wagon drawn by an ox team, with a plank across the wagon for a seat. They talk interestingly of the old days in this country, having lived here through the wonderful changes of the past. They are well known throughout the county and have a host of warm personal friends.
