During his boyhood his parents moved to Clay County, Missouri, where he resided until 1881, when he moved to Ness County, Kansas, taking a homestead in the southern part of Nevada township, where he has since lived.
He united with the Christian Union Church at the age of eighteen and when he moved to Ness County he united with the Methodist Episcopal church and remained a consistent member until his death.
He leaves three brothers and two sisters, living, many nephews and nieces and a host of friends to mourn his loss.
Mr. Albright had been enjoying fairly good health until about three o’clock Friday morning, when he began to have trouble to get his breath, but he did not suffer much pain and passed quietly away at nine o’clock.
Mr. Albright will be much missed in the community where he lived as he befriended many during the early hard times and leaves many friends who remember his past kindness.
