George Albert Dies Suddenly

Keeper of Kent County Poor Farm is Stricken With Apoplexy

An attack of apoplexy Sunday night caused the sudden death of George Albert, 
aged 61 years, keeper of the county poor farm.  He had walked about the farm 
during the afternoon and apparently was in good health, but as he was about to 
enter his home shortly after six o’clock he fell to the ground and died within 
a few minutes.  Funeral services will be held at nine a.m. Wednesday at the 
Holy Trinity church at Alpine.  Interment in Alpine cemetery.

Mr. Albert was one of the pioneer residents of Ionia and Kent counties, He was 
born in Otisco, Ionia county.  In 1909 he was elected to the board of 
supervisors of Kent county on the democratic ticket.  He was appointed keeper 
of the poor farm in April 1913.

Besides his widow, a son, Ernest, of Alpine; a daughter, Mrs. Anna Waters of 
Grand Rapids; three brothers, Charles Albert of Chesaning, Joseph Albert of 
Otisco, Fred Albert of Wisconsin; and a sister, Mrs. Joseph Platty of Alpine, 
survive.  – Grand Rapids News

Many of our residents will remember Mr. Albert, as he lived for a long time in 
the German settlement, south of the city.  His father was one of the earliest 
pioneers to settle in this section of the country and Mr. Albert, together with 
the rest of the family helped to clear and till the land upon which his 
brother, Joseph Albert, now resides, that being the old Albert homestead.
