The death of George W. Albright at Kessler hospital at 8:30 o’clock last night was a great shock to the community. He had been afflicted with heart and kidney trouble several years and this together with typhoid fever, which seized him last Tuesday, caused his death.
He was taken to the hospital at 1:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon.
The funeral was conducted at at the family residence on Mulberry Street at 2 o’clock Wednesday afternoon by Rev. Thomas W. Cooke, and the last sad rites were performed by the Odd Fellows’ Lodge, of which he was a member.
The deceased was a son of Frederick Albright. His parents were poor but honest. The boy had the traits of his father and in early youth showed enterprise and integrity. He began life driving cows. He was partially reared by Juniper Adams, a pioneer citizen.
When but a lad he engaged himself as clerk in Smith, Brown & Co.’s store and remained several years. After accumulative a few hundred dollars, he went to Kansas and lost all he had. Undaunted he returned here and through the assistance of Mr. Adams went into business.
He conducted a very successful hardware and tinware business, until two years ago he sold it to E. A. Batten. He accumulated considerable property and was in good circumstances when death ensued.
Mr. Albright married Nora Hoff, a daughter of Silas Hoff, deceased, who was a prominent business man. She and a small son, five brothers and one sister survive him. He was forty-two years of age. His death has removed a splendid citizen.
