Places Lived
Albert lived from 1831 until 1834 in his home town of Salisbury, in Herkimer County, New York,
In 1834, his family moved to Detroit Michigan, where he worked on the board of public works.
In 1849, Albert and his family moved to Centralia, Illinois.
In the fall of 1861, Albert enlisted in the 49th Illinois Volunteers.
Soon after the war, in 1867, Albert and Eunice moved from Centralia, Illinois to North Platte, Nebraska. North Platte was established in 1866 when the Union Pacific Railroad was extended to that point. It derives its name from the North Platte River. North Platte was the western terminus of the Union Pacific Railway from the summer of 1867 until the next section to Laramie, Wyoming, was opened the following summer.
