Albert was born in 1860 at Littledean and died in 1956 at the age of 92 years at
Des Moines, Iowa, USA.

He tells of his early days in the Forest and of his move to America in 1888
and then of his life there. It is certainly a very interesting story of Albert's
life and I am sure you will enjoy reading it as much as I did.
