Albert W. Sterling
Capt. Albert Wesley Sterling, a lifelong resident of the Asbury section, one of the oldest and well loved citizens of the community, died at his home Wednesday evening, following a long illness. He would have been 94 years of age on April 3rd.

For more than 30 years he was connected with the retail grocery and meat market of the late T.J. Webb, later the Webb Packing Company. He had been retired for some years.
On both sides of his family he was connected with pioneer Somerset families, and inherited their independence and energy, and other fine traits of character which he exemplified during his long life.
