pg. 598
Completing his early education in the public schools of Chillicothe,
Edward Louie Albright secured a position with the Marfield Milling
Company, serving a part of the time as office clerk and bookkeeper, and
pg. 599
part of the time as manager of the feed store, remaining with the firm
five years. Learning then the millwright trade, he followed it until
1903, when he was made assistant street superintendent. At the end of
four years in that position, Mr. Albright was appointed superintendent
of streets, and during the six years that he served in that capacity
proved himself so eminently capable and efficient that he was appointed
to his present official position as director of public service, an office that
includes, among other duties, the superintendency of the streets of the
city.
Mr. Albright married, April 29, 1908, Nancy Ann Routt, who was
born in a log house on the farm of her father, Thomas Jefferson Routt,
near Hallsville, Ross County. Her paternal grandfather, Henry Routt,
was born at Staunton, Virginia, October 13, 1802, and after coming to
Ohio spent a few years in Chillicothe, from here making an overland
journey with teams to Clay City, Clay County, Illinois, where he and
his wife spent their remaining days. Born May 11, 1830, in Chillicothe,
Thomas Jefferson Routt was fifteen years old when he accompanied his
parents to Clay City, Illinois. Not liking his new home, he soon returned
to Chillicothe, walking the entire distance. After his marriage he settled
on a farm near Hallsville, and after occupying it forty-two years, came
to Chillicothe, and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Edward L. Albright,
December 13, 1913. He was three times married, Mrs. Edward L. Albright having
been the only child of his third wife, whose maiden name was Clarissa Jane Hines.
She was born in Ross County July 19, 1835, and is now living with Mr. and Mrs. Edward L. Albright. Her father, Philip Hines, was born in Pennsylvania, a son of Jacob and
Mary Elizabeth Hines, who were born in Pennsylvania, of German ancestry. Coming to Ross County, Philip Hines purchased a farm in Harrison Township, and there lived until his death, at the age of ninety years. In addition to clearing and improving a farm, he followed for
many years his trade of a weaver, making carpets, coverlets, and various
kinds of cloth, all of which found a ready sale. Sarah Maddox, who
became the wife of Philip Hines, was born in Kentucky, a daughter of
Isaiah Maddox, a pioneer of Ross County. She died at the age of sixty-five
years.
Mr. and Mrs. Albright have one child, Ferdinand Thomas Albright.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Albright attend the German Evangelical Church.
Fraternally he is a member of Aerie No. 600, Fraternal Order of Eagles.
