For 12 years, except for seasons when he would return to support his family by making tile, he preached in Penna., Maryland and Virginia. Sick and worn-out at 49, he was returning home from Linglestown, Dauphin Co. to die. He got as far as Kleinfeltersville, where he died in the home of his faithful friend, George Becker. Becker buried Albright in his private cemetery, where the denomination erected the Albright Memorial Church in 1850. [Lebanon Daily News, Friday May 18, 1956]]
