I appreciate all the info. I forgot to re post, got caught up with other things. Frank J. Alby was my great uncle so all this info is a great help. I knew he died in the war but I did not have any details. The info about his sisters might help track me track down my missing aunts as well.

Thx again.

If you're still looking for this family, they moved to Hancock County, Indiana.

Thomas Alby of Murfeesboro, Tennessee in 1876

BasketLady420 — 2008-03-01 05:47:15Z

Thomas Alby of Murfeesboro, Tennessee is listed among the dead in a train accident.

The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway Train No. 5, The Pacific Express left a snowy Erie, Pennsylvania on the afternoon of December 29, 1876. As The Pacific Express plowed through the snow and crossed a bridge over the Ashtabula River, about 100 yards from the railroad station at Ashtabula, Ohio, the passengers heard a terrible cracking sound. In just seconds, the bridge fractured and the train plunged 70 feet into a watery abyss.

I am not related to this family, just passing on this information which comes from a website called "Ashtabula Bridge Disaster." The link for the site is listed below.

AlettaHolmes — 2007-06-09 12:43:24Z

I have an old photograph of these 2 men and 2 women taken at "Grundseth Studio in Waterford, Wis. This is probably a wedding photo with bride, groom and witnesses. It appears that Gertie Alby and Alois Scheele are the witnesses. Taken around the turn of the century. I have been informed that this wedding photo was taken 1896.

John Wesley ALBY b VA 1867 d aft 1930

Fultz_Genealogy — 2006-11-07 21:10:15Z

Looking for information on John Wesley ALBY b 1867 in Augusta Co., VA to John W. ALBY (b abt 1826 MD d 1895 VA) and Augusta Virginia FULTZ (1839-1886).

John Wesley ALBY was a salesman, like his father who owned a clothing store in Staunton. He married late, if at all, during the 1920s, possibly in Washington, DC where he worked as a dry goods salesman.

The 1930 census lists him living in a hotel, married first at age 56 (abt 1923), but there is no wife living with him.

A note in the clipping file at the local library reads as follows:

Frank John Alby, United States Navy, born Sept 2, 1918, died July 8, 1943, Machinist’s Mate Second Class, was aboard USS Strong when it was torpedoed July 5, 1943, during the bombardment of Georgia Island. He died of injuries three days later, July 8, 1943, and was buried at sea in the Kula Gulf.

Mother Mrs. Liliah Alby RR #5 Box 811
Father: Frank S Alby, South Bend."

Frank's mother Liliah died in Aug of 1946. She died in Indianapolis and the funeral was held in Kalamazoo, MI. Survivors listed in her obit were her mother, Lorene Priester of Kalamazoo; four daughters, Mrs. Lorene Shattuck of Farmington, MI, Mrs. Jeanne Myers of Greensboro, NC, Ruth and Marie Alby at home, two brothers Richard Clippinger of Paw Paw, MI and Lawrence Clippinger of South Bend.

Frank's father, Frank Sr., died in Nov 1962 in a state hospital at New Castle, IN where he had been since 1931. His obit listed survivors; four daughters Lorene in Los Angeles, Jean, Liliah Ruth, Marie all in Detroit, two sisters Mrs. Joseph Haney and Mrs. Mary Safety of So Bend. I will see if I can find descendents of the local survivors.

Frank J. Alby killed in South Pacific in World War II

Dave_Dwiggins — 2005-06-27 04:36:25Z

Frank J. Alby of St. Joseph County Indiana was killed in the South Pacific in World War II and is listed as missing in action or buried at sea. His name appears on the "Tablets of the Missing" at the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines.

I am a retired Hoosier from Madison County residing in the Philippines with my Filipino wife. We are seeking family and military information about servicemen from your county killed in the South Pacific during World War II. There are 17,206 Americans buried here and thousands more that are missing or buried at sea and are honored on the “Tablets of the Missing”. Please visit our website to see the beautiful memorial located in Manila, Philippines.

http://fizkid.tripod.com/

My wife and I visited the cemetery as visitors and left with a mission in our heart. We have been taking photographs of the graves of the Indiana servicemen buried here and have been uniting them (at no charge) with their family members in Indiana and across the United States. To receive the photo of your family member, neighbor or friend all you need is a working email address. We do not send them to regular mailing addresses due to the costs. Please help us find the families of the men that might still be living. Our project is only successful because of teamwork and your contributions are noted on our website. If you wish to help us we will be pleased to add your name to our ACKNOWLEDGMENT page on the website. The obituaries usually did not appear till to three months after the death date.

If you are not a genealogist you can help by just picking up the telephone directory and find someone with the same last name and give them a call. It has worked many times for us.

Oswego Co NY ALBYs

RondaLOberlin — 2005-02-13 03:00:09Z

Looking for a connection between the ALBY and STORER families. I have a John Alby DURFEY who was born in Jul 1850 in Oswego Co, NY. He is supposed to be the son of Milton DURFEY and Sarah STORER, but Milton and Sarah weren't married in the 1850 census (I can't find Sarah at all) and John Alby wasn't listed with the family in the 1860 census.

I thought his middle name might be a clue to his origin.
