Albert Logan (colored) was born in Glasgow, Ky., early in the eighteenth century, the exact date of birth being unknown. When about 12 years of age he came to Hennepin and had resided there to the time of his death. He was a soldier during the Civil war and returned to Hennepin on receiving his discharge from the service. What changes in the condition of his race this aged man witnessed. Born under the regime of slavery when men, women and children with black skins were bought, sold and treated as were dumb brutes. Albert Logan lived to see them free men, members of state and national legislatures, collegians, judges, lawyers, physicians, orators, artists and clergymen. He was no doubt about 100 years old at his death and leaves five children to perpetuate his name and memory. He died Sunday, March 21, the funeral from the house on Tuesday this week at 1 o'clock p.m. conducted by the pastor of the M. E. church of that city.
