Albert John Muffett was born August 23, 1879 in Roseworthy, Cornwall, England. He is the son of James Henry Muffett and Maria (Annie) Veal.
His father left England and came to the United States of America in 1880.
Albert attended grammer school in England until 1883. He also played the organ. His mother then brought him to America. He then went to high school in Rock Springs, Wyoming from 1893 to 1896 with the exception of one year when he was twelve. The family consisting of Annie, Albert John and Mabel went back to England. Albert John went back to school and completed the 8th grade. James Henry came back to England and they all came back to the U. S. together. That was the last time any of them went back to England. He graduated from high school in Rock Springs, Wyoming. In 1896, the family then moved to Salt Lake City Utah. He attended school in salt Lake from 1897 to 1898. With the exceptionof one year in Park City, Utah they stayed in Salt Lake until 1906. His father and mother moved to Mackay, Idaho in 1906. He came to work in the copper mine.
Albert John was a motorman for the Salt Lake Rapid Transfer. He met Emma while he was working on the streetcar. He told her mother he was going to marry her daughter. His parents in the meantime moved to Park City. He didn't see Emma again until they were in their thirties.
He met Marjorie Archibald during the stay in Park City and they were married August 26, 1904 in Salt Lake City, Utah at the age of twenty five. They had one son Kenneth Muffett. They were later divorced.
He studied to be a druggist in Salt Lake.
In 1906, he left Salt Lake City (where he probably served his apprenticeship) and move to Boise, Idaho and worked as a pharmacist at the Blue Latimer.
He then moved to Mackay, Idaho in 1909 and was engaged in mining with his father for various companies. From June, 1911 untilAugust, 1917, he worked for the Empire Coppr Co. At that time, he went into partnership in a drugstore with Dr. Charles F. Baker (Dentist). It was on the southwest corner of Main Street and the highway in Mackay. Dr. Baker was a character. They were good friends. He worked there until July, 1922 when they changed management.
His hobby was photography. He did rodeo's and special events. He was a kind gentle man.
He went back to Salt Lake to get Emily Wallace. Her mother came with her and they were married Thursday, December 11, 1913 in Pocatello, Idaho. They made their home in Mackay. Emma knew he had a son by a former marriage. Their first child, son, James W. was born September 22, 1914 in Mackay, Idaho. A daughter, Mary Francis was born October 6, 1917 at St. Mark's Hospital in Salt Lake City. Emily's mother lived in Salt Lake and that is reason they were there. They said she look like a Japanese baby.
From July, 1922, to May, 1925 he worked for the Livingston Mines in Mackay, Idaho until the work was finished.
He then worked from May, 1925 to July 1927 for the Ford Morter Co. in Clayton, Idaho doing mining. He was a shift boss. The Mine closed, so he went to work at the Livingston Mines in Mackay until June, 1928 where he was a mill carpenter. He resigned to take a position in Mackay with the Mackay Metals as a foreman. The job lasted until April, 1931 when the mine went broke.
He worked at the mine leasing after he left the drugstore. Emma protested the mining lease. The mine wouldn't pay off because it cost too much to get ore to the Arco railroad.
James Henry found turquoise in Tonapah, Nevada and got money from Albert to stake him. He was a wanderer.
In order to keep the leases going, they were taking money from the one mine that was paying off and sinking it into the other two unprofibable ones. Empire Copper company was paying off but the U. S. Mine and the Little Lost mine took the profits.
James Henry, Albert John and Fred Diers got what was left and bought a grocery store.
The old Albert John house was a mining company house they bought and moved to where it is and had it remodeled. The original had three rooms. two pitched roof rooms and one with a slant roof (the kitchen). Later they had a pitched roof put on the entire house. The two rooms added on the front were the living room and a bedroom. They only owned one home. It burned down March 17, 1935 and they rebuilt it. One house they rented while it was being rebuilt was next to Jim and Wanda's, so they were close while rebuilding.
During the depression years, he worked for the Forest Service. In May, 1931 he worked for them in Mackay as a foreman doing general construction. He worked with them in Mackay until May of 1937. He then went with the Forest Service in Bonanza, Idaho as a foreman for the C.C.C.
During the winter, he worked for people named Carr. He did bookkeeping and collecting. They owned the utilites, ie water and electric company.
He was well educated and would do any kind of work to support his family.
He continued with the Forest Service in Mackay part time doing odd jobs until October, 1918. At that time, he went to work for the Lost River Highway Dist. in Mackay. He was a foreman for the road construction and maintenance. He resigned in 1940 to go to work for the Forest Service at Pass Creek.
He was a Mason but never joined the Eastern Star. Emma would have joined, but he wouldn't. The Mason' met on the corner of Main and Highway (the North West corner.
They first started attending the Community Church. Then L.D.S. missionaries came and they met in the hall where the Mason's met. Later, they met in an old house across from the school. An L.D.S. church was later built on Main Street. This is where his funeral was held.
He enjoyed having his first son Kenneth and his family visit in Mackay.
He was a beautiful dancer. They used to go to the Masonic Lodge to dance.
He was a quiet retiring personality and would not let dirty stories told in the house. He never screamed or hollered at anyone.
Aunt Mary said he had the phonograph playing and the children always woke up to music. He took a cup of coffee to Emma in bed and then she would fix him breakfast. As Mary got older, he would also her a cup of coffee.
His handwriting was beautiful and his figures very precise.
He died June 29, 1961 in Mackay, Idaho and the services were held in the L.D.S. chapel with the Mason's having the service at the gravesite. He is buried in the Mount McCaleb Cemetery in Mackay, Idaho.
