SAMUEL COWAN ALBRIGHT
A lifelong resident of Taylor township and a member of one of the pioneer families, died at his home southwest of Roaring Spring this morning at 6.05 o'clock, death coming suddenly as he attempted to arise from his bed. Mr. Albright had been ill since last October but was able to be about. He was the son of Samuel B. and Catherine Cowan Albright and was born on the farm where he died, on Sept. 23, 1847. He spent his entire life farming until retiring due to advanced age a few years ago. He was united in marriage with Miss Mary Rock on Oct. 15, 1871. She died about five years ago. To this union six children were born, five of whom survive: Mrs. William Furry and Harris Albright of Taylor township, James Albright of Cuyahoga Falls, O., and Jennie and Edward, at home. One brother, George Albright, of Roaring Spring, also survives, and twelve grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. He was a member of the Albright Church of the Brethren all his life and his father was the founder and donated the land for the church by that name south of Roaring Spring. Funeral services will be conducted at the home Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, in charge of Rev. Fred R. Zook of Martinsburg and Rev. John B. Muler of Curryville. Interment will be made in the Albright church cemetery.
