Kansas City Historical Co. 1881

JOSEPH ALBIN,

P.O. Warrensburg.  It was in Guernsey county, Ohio, where Joseph Albin
first beheld the light of day.  It was there also that he had attended
the common schools and received his education.  His ancestors came from
Virginia.  Early in the fall of 1857, he moved to Effingham county,
Illinois, where he commenced life's struggles for himself, and the
succeeding year, 1858, he married Miss Margaret Gillmore, a native of
Illinois.  Here he lived, farming until 1868, when he again emigrated
west, his destination being Dodge county, Missouri, where he purchased a
farm and lived until the time he located in Johnson county, Missouri,
which occurred in 1879, where he now lives on one of the prettiest farms
in Johnson county.  During his life he has reared a family of eight
children, only one of whom is married.  The soil of Mr. Albin's farm is
of the richest quality, which characterizes the township of which it is
a part; also the yard surrounding his residence presents an appearence,
fully in keeping up with the surroundings, and shows what pluck and
industry can attain.
