General Notes: Husband - Eli Albright

---

He inherited his father's old farm, where he lived until during the latter part of his life, when he retired from active pursuits and made his home at Kecksburg.

He was born on the old Albright place near Weltytown, Mount Pleasant township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Quite early in life he began as a farmer and continued in this occupation during the remainder of his life save for a few years immediately preceding his death. During these years he was retired from active life altogether and lived at Kecksburg.

He enlisted in Company I, Eighteenth Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and serving in that body during the Civil War. He was promoted to the rank of regimental quartermaster, and after he returned to civil life took a very active part in the affairs of his home region, and held many public offices in the gift of his fellow townspeople. He was a Democrat in politics and did much to advance the cause of his party in this part of the State. He was a member of the Reformed Church, attending the old Ridge Church of that denomination, he having been one of those who assisted in the building thereof. He was a man of great physical strength and endurance, and it is said that during the construction of this building he used to carry as many as fifty bricks from the ground to the top of the wall. He could also raise three bushels of wheat to his shoulder without difficulty.
