Mrs. George Albright passed away Saturday evening after a lingering illness of three years. She was born in Denmark in 1868 and married to George Albright in 1888 at Cleveland. Very few women have taken as prominent part in pioneer life as Mrs. Albright.

After a short residence in Seattle they went to Alaska in 1901. They lived in Nome, Fairbanks and up the Noatak river. In 1910 when Mr. Albright came to Seattle for medical attention he purchased a tract on the Highlands.

In 1911 they came out from the interior and made some improvements on their place. In 1912 with her husband and A. St. Laurent, who was with them for a number of years, they left Seward and made the trip inland to Iditarod, a distance of 516 miles, walking all the way with their dog team.

In 1913 they returned to the Highlands where she has always taken an active part in all civic work and will be greatly missed by her wide circle of friends. The funeral service was held at the chapel Tuesday afternoon conducted by Rev. Paul Fossel. She is survived by a twin sister in Denmark, a brother in Cleveland and Nels Beck, a nephew who has made his home with her for a number of years.
