ALBRO.--Wm. B. Albro died at the residence of his son, Prof. Addis Albro, in Fort Wayne, Ind., August 31, 1879, aged 79. He was born in the Town of Berne, Albany Co., New York, May 2, 1800. He moved from Berne to Huntersland, Schoharie Co., New York where he spent most of his life. Dr. H. L. Wells, of Middleburgh, New York, writes: Brother Albro was converted at about twenty-five, and for over a half century exemplified the character of a true Christian. He was modest, yet bold to bear the cross of Christ. A man of few words, but noble and generous, given to hospitality. He filled the office of class-leader over forty years with great fidelity and acceptability. His sincerity and piety none called in question. He moved from Huntersland to Middleburgh, New York, in 1873, where he lived until last spring, when he came to spend his remaining days with his son, at Fort Wayne Methodist Episcopal College. He was here but a few months, when he was called "to be with Christ." While in this city his feebleness deprived him of Church services. To the writer he said, in his last sickness, "The Lord has been good to me through a long life. I am now ready to be offered." He was a constant reader of The Christian Advocate for more than forty years.
