Werter B. Albright
Werter B. Albright was the son of Jacob S. Albright and Nancy Albright. The father was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and the mother a faithful helpmate in her husband's calling. The subject of this sketch was born on the twelfth day of October, 1858. He was educated in the public schools of Delaware and at the Ohio Wesleyan University. Mr. Albright studied law and was admitted to the Bar in the year 1885. He soon thereafter opened an office in Delaware, and began the practice of his chosen profession. Mr. Albright gave special attention to the law of real estate, and he became an expert in that particular branch of his profession. He was an untiring student and prepared an abstract of title to all the lands of Delaware County at a cost of hundreds of dollars and several years of labor to himself and employes. This work had just been completed a short time before his death, which occurred on the eighth day of January, 1893.
