Clinton Missouri, Mar 28 1902 - Lewis Comer Albin, who died Tuesday, March 10, 1903 at his home on Bodine Avenue, this city, was one of the oldest and most respected citizens. Born in Winchester, Virginia, October 26, 1828 and was something over 73. He came to Missouri in 1856 and settled in Lafayette county, where he lived until he came to Henry county ?7 years ago. He first settled on what is known as the Brinkerhoff farm near LaDue and after a brief residence, moved to the Garth farm, just south and east of Clinton. After a residence here of two years, he moved to the Salmon farm and in a short time purchased a nice little farm of his own, just south of town, which he still owned and farmed up to the time of his death. For the last 16 years, he has been living in his beautiful little home on Bodine Avenue where by thrift and economy he had surrounded himself and family with many comforts and conveniences. To grandpa and grandma Albin were born six children: Mrs. Wade of Clinton; Mrs. Biggerstaff, deceased; Somma Albin, who died here of blood poison in 1893; Mrs. will Boyd of Clinton; Sterling Albin of North Station and Miss Grace Albin, who died in 1880. Besides these children of their own, they have raised two grandchildren, Mrs. H. A. Dixon of Independence, this state, and Mrs. R. L. Shoemaker, of this city. He was a devoted member of the M. E. Church, South, having given his heart to God fifty-two years ago. The writer has lived a neighbor to Grandpa Albin for 12 years and can truthfully say he was one of the best men he knew. If Grandpa ever wronged anyone it was not intentional. He was a good neighbor, a model husband, a kind and affectionate father. He was a great lover of his cows and horses and was kind and compassionate to them beyond measure. Grandpa was never satisfied unless he absolutely knew that all of his stock was well provided for. For several years, he has pastured the neighbor's cows and he was so good and kind to them that they seemed to know and realize his humane feelings. He was very energetic and industrious and notwithstanding his advance age, rarely missed a day in which he did not perform some kind of manual labor. His departure is a sad loss to his aged companion, who has shared all of the griefs and joys of a long and happy married life.
