The son of George C. Albee Sr and Rosetta A. Kimbel.

George C. Albee Jr., was the Marshal of Oshkosh Nebraska, and was slain while performing his duties on the 24th of November 1926.

The Dec 3 1926 Garden County News, gave an account of the slaying. ------ In Part ----- On Wednesday morning at 15 minutes before five o'clock the report suddenly circulated over the village telephone and by word of mouth that Miles Maryott and George Albee had engaged in a gun fight and that they were both dead or wounded and struggling on the Judge Gumear's yard in the south part of town.

Upon arrival at the scene of the shooting Dr. George E. Morris, found Albee dying. A coroner's Jury composed of six men heard 15 witnesses, returned a verdict to the effect that George C. Albee was killed by Miles J. Maryott with a .45 caliber automatic pistol.

Other details include the following, Maryott picked up Judge Gumear's Buick, drove recklessly around town and just south of the depot and the report began to circulate that he was drunk. Marshal Albee stopped him on the streets and told him to go home. Maryott then went to the Oshkosh Hardware company and got the .45 caliber gun. Prof. McGaw came into the store and both men stepped out of the store at the same time and Maryott told McGaw that he had heard that McGaw had mentioned him in some classes at high school and had indulged in adverse criticism of some of his conduct. Maryott then told McGaw that he was going to kill Frank Dutton and others and for him to go straight home if he didn't do so, he would shoot him.

After talking with Quelle who told Maryott to go home, Maryott went to Judge Gumear's place. Marshal Albee followed Maryott to the Gumear place. Several shots were fired by each. Later Maryott fell to the ground and Albee continued slowly to Maryott who insisted he was hurt so badly he could not throw his gun. As Albee leaned over to assist Maryott in getting up, Maryott fired and shot Albee in the chest, killing him.

The suspect was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to life in prison in 1927. The suspect was paroled on May 16, 1939, and sent to a hospital where he died of chronic liver disease four months later.
