George Albert (sometimes called Albert) was raised in Mercersburg, Franklin Co., Pa., a son of Jacob Schaffer Mowrey (b. 29 Jun 1845, Pa.; d. 9 Sep 1919, Franklin Co., PA) and Elizabeth Hoover Uglow (b. 17 Dec 1841 Chambersburg, Franklin Co., Pa.; d. 27 Jun 1921, Franklin Co., Pa.). After learning the tool and die maker trade in Waynesboro, Franklin Co., Pa., he moved to Pittsburgh, Pa., where he was employed by Westinghouse and later as a machinist at the Brosius Co.
In 1905, G. Albert married, Margaret Helen Hoffman, and after his marriage he converted from the Methodist to Lutheran Church. At the time of the 1910 Census, George and Margaret were living in Millvale, and in 1920 and 1930, they were living in Aspinwall, Allegheny Co., Pa. They had one daughter and one son—Ruth (who died at age 4 months) and Earl Albert—and they adopted Louise Collier, daughter of Margaret's sister Augusta.
In 1929, Albert was struck by a car as he was getting off a streetcar. The accident severed his arm, and although it was reconnected, he never regained use of it. Albert died of colon cancer.
