Died at Salem, Oregon.
A copy of the Oregon Statesman, published at Salem, that state, received by Dr. Cartwright, contains an obituary of E. T. Albert, a person whom many of the pioneers knew in the years when much trading was done at Lansing. Mr. Albert died at his home in Salem on Saturday, May 27th, in his 83d year, having been born in Winchester, Va., in 1816. Death resulted from general paralysis beginning on Dec 9th last. He came to Lansing early in the fifties, remained there for twenty-one years, then removed to Keokuk where he resided until 1881, when he went to Oregon. To his obituary it is said of him: The deceased united at an early age with the Presbyterian church, in which denomination he has held the office of elder for fifty-two consecutive years, being at the time of his death senior elder of the First Presbyterian church of this city. He was always active in church work until his health became impaired, obliging him to abandon, to an extent, his activity in religious work in the betterment of his fellow man.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows he was born Sept. 15, 1816 and died May 27, 1899. He is buried in the Salem Pioneer Cemetery in Salem, OR.
