True Albery Dead.
At 5:45 on the evening of the 11th instant, Truman Strong Albery was born Jan. 26th, 1835, at Johnstown, Ohio, where he grew to manhood. May 11th, 1855, he was united in marriage to Jane Sinkey, to whom was born three children, Amanda, who died in early childhood; Dr. Rose Marie Merrill who is physician at the St. Peter State Insane Hospital, at St. Peter, Minn.; Mrs. Mina Kilmer who lives in So. Tacoma. J. B. Albery, of this city, is a brother. The deceased, with his wife, went to Tacoma last August for his health and felt much improved and well pleased with that country as many readers of THE SENTINEL will remember through an interesting letter he wrote from there and which was published in this paper last fall. But fond hopes and bright acticipations are oft times dashed to the ground, as in the case of our departed friend, who was buyoed up with the belief that he was on the right road to recovery. But, alas; such is the final fate of all humanity. True Albery was a kind hearted, generous man who had the raspect and esteem of a large number of acquaintances in this vicinity. Besides the relatives named he leaves a devoted wife to mourn his loss. The funeral occurred on Wednesday, March 13, at the Catholic church, and the body was buried in South Tacoma.
