• Birth	3 Jun 1881	Hancock County, Ohio   [2]
  	Albright, often called "Bright" , was born June 3, 1881, in Hancock Co., Ohio. He was married to Carrie Alice Todd on Nov. 2, 1904, in Bluffton, Allen Co., Ohio, by Rev. John Todd. Albright was employed as a salesman and buyer for Gregg's Department Store in Lima, Ohio. His obituary says he ran a grocery store in Dola, Ohio from 1947 until his retirement. He also wrote poetry, and is remembered by his family as being funny and sentimental. He was clever at making a home more efficient and attactive, and did painting and carpentry. Albright composed many poems during his life, taking inspiration from the world and situations around him. some were for Christmas or birthday greetings, many were about his family and family life. What's My Name? My given name is Albright Moody, And it rhymes with Howdy Doody. When I was a child I had no choice, And was called "Bright" by every voice. Some hailed me as Albright as I older grew And I accepted, t'was the thing to do. Some close friends, to be more spiffy When we'd meed would say, "Hi! Shiffy!" Then later on came a Kiwanis pal And said, From now on you'll be known as 'AL.'" To me it makes no difference who is right, But I know many old friends still think I'm "Bright".
