      Completing his early education in the public schools of Chillicothe,
      Edward Louie Albright secured a position with the Marfield Milling
      Company, serving a part of the time as office clerk and bookkeeper, and

      pg. 599
      part of the time as manager of the feed store, remaining with the firm
      five years. Learning then the millwright trade, he followed it until
      1903, when he was made assistant street superintendent. At the end of
      four years in that position, Mr. Albright was appointed superintendent
      of streets, and during the six years that he served in that capacity
      proved himself so eminently capable and efficient that he was appointed
      to his present official position as director of public service, an office that
      includes, among other duties, the superintendency of the streets of the
      city.

      Mr. Albright married, April 29, 1908, Nancy Ann Routt, who was
      born in a log house on the farm of her father, Thomas Jefferson Routt,
      near Hallsville, Ross County. Her paternal grandfather, Henry Routt,
      was born at Staunton, Virginia, October 13, 1802, and after coming to
      Ohio spent a few years in Chillicothe, from here making an overland
      journey with teams to Clay City, Clay County, Illinois, where he and
      his wife spent their remaining days. Born May 11, 1830, in Chillirothe,
      Thomas Jefferson Routt was fifteen years old when he accompanied his
      parents to Clay City, Illinois. Not liking his new home, he soon returned
      to Chillicothe, walking the entire distance. After his marriage he settled
      on a farm near Hallsville, and after occupying it forty-two years, came
      to Chillicothe, and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Edward L. Albright,
      December 13, 1913. He was three times married, Mrs. Edward L. Albright having
      been the only child of his third wife, whose maiden name was Clarissa Jane Hines.
      She was born in Ross Comity July 19, 1835, and is now living with Mr. and Mrs. Edward L. Albright. Her father, Philip Hines, was born in Pennsylvania, a son of Jacob and
      Mary Elizabeth Hines, who were born in Pennsylvania, of German ancestry. Coming to Ross County, Philip Hines purchased a farm in Harrison Township, and there lived until his death, at the age of ninety years. In addition to clearing and improving a farm, he followed for
      many years his trade of a weaver, making carpets, coverlets, and various
      kinds of cloth, all-of which found a ready sale. Sarah Maddox, who
      became the wife of Philip Hines, was born in Kentucky, a daughter of
      Isaiah Maddox, a pioneer of Ross County. She died at the age of sixty-five
      years.
      Mr. and Mrs. Albright have one child, Ferdinand Thomas Albright.
      Both Mr. and Mrs. Albright attend the German Evangelical Church.
      Fraternally he is a member of Aerie No. 600, Fraternal Order of Eagles.
