General Notes: Husband - Augustus Alborn

---

He was a miller when a resident of Germany, but after coming to America in August, 1846 he followed agricultural pursuits. Landing in Baltimore, Maryland, after a long sea-voyage of 51 days from Bremen, he went direct to Pittsburgh, and thence to Beaver County to the home of kinsfolks, who had preceded him to the New World. After living two months with relatives, he purchased a farm of fifty-five acres in Franklin township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and with true German thrift soon began adding to it, first by a purchase of ten acres, and then by a subsequent purchase of forty acres adjoining, making altogether a farm of 105 acres. Later on, he bought another farm of fifty acres near by, and took up his residence on the latter farm, renting his former home, but still cultivating the land.
He and his wife were members of the Lutheran Church. They were the parents of five children, three of whom were born in Germany.
