General Notes: Husband - James A. Albert


In his youth he attended the Hickory Corners School in the vicinity of his home, although after he was eleven years of age his schooling was confined to two of the winter months. He remained on the home farm until he attained his majority, then entered the railroad service, continuing until 1900, being employed as fireman and engineer by the Pittsburgh & Western Railroad. Becoming identified with the Westinghouse Machine Company, he added to the practical experience he obtained in this employ the benefit derived from an electrical course with the International Correspondence School, of Scranton, afterward accepting a position as chief engineer of the Iroquois Building, of Oakland, and was thus employed for one and one-half years, while in that place becoming president of the local union of the International Union of Steam and Gas Engineers. For the four following years he was chief engineer of the municipal lighting plant of Pitcairn, Pennsylvania, until November 1, 1907, when he severed his connection with the municipality, and on January 20, 1908, engaged in the hardware business at No. 604 California avenue, Avalon, Pennsylvania, continuing this with gratifying success, trading as the Avalon Hardware Company. Mr. Albert held membership in the Order of American Mechanics, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Masonic Order, and the Brotherhood of Firemen and Engineers, and with his wife in the Order of the Eastern Star.
