General Notes: Husband - William Leasure Albright

---

The source gives the year of his birth as 1820, but this is impossible. Perhaps 1850 was meant.

He remained in his father's home during only the first twelve years of his life. At the age of fourteen he was working on a farm at the rate of two dollars per month, and it was here that he earned his first cash. He then worked for eight years in the employ of C. S. Fry, at Lycippus, Pennsylvania, on that gentleman's farm, during which time he never earned more than thirteen dollars per month the year. At the end of this period he severed his association with Mr. Fry and set up a livery business in the town of Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, where he came into possession of a piece of property which he then owned for many years. After the latter experience, Mr. Albright entered the employ of the Rainy Coal Company and rapidly rose in position until he was placed in charge of the company's stock. In the year 1902, however, he retired from this position and rented a farm, which was situated in East Huntingdon township, three-fourths of a mile west of Mount Pleasant. He continued to rent the place until 1916, when he purchased it outright. This place was once the old Edward Braden farm and contained at one time two hundred and seventy-five acres. Under Mr. Albright it included one hundred and seventy-nine acres. Mr. Braden had erected a fine brick house and excellent barn, the latter being the largest in the township at the time. It measured one hundred feet by forty, and besides the stories above ground, had a full basement. The coal under the property, which turned out to be a decidedly rich deposit, was sold to the Frick Coal Company.
He was a Democrat in politics; in his religious belief he was a member of the Reformed church, and attended the church of this denomination at Mount Pleasant.
