Death of Two Pioneers

Former Residents of Otisco Township.

The death of John Albert and John L. Morse two of Otisco’s early pioneers is
announced as occurring last week.  They made there way into this vicinity while
it was yet an unbroken wilderness and paved the way for bringing other settlers
here who have developed the county into rich farms.

Mr. Albert died at his home in Grand Rapids Friday, aged about 85 years, his
health having been poor for some time.  He was born in Baden, Germany, and
emigrated to Ohio.  He was a jeweler and in 1841 came through this township
peddling clocks, and taking a liking to the land on section 33, purchased 640
acres.  Peter Kemp and Henry Krupp worked with him and what is now known as the
German settlement was originated.  He moved to Alpine about 18 years ago and
later to Grand Rapids.  He leaves a wife, four sons and a daughter.
