Obituary.
Lydia Albright Bishoff, wife of the late Samuel Bishoff, was born March 15, 1810, and died July 6, 1903, age 93 years, 4 months and 9 days. She united in the holy bonds of matrimony with Samuel Bishoff on the 5 of Feb. 1831.
To this union were born nine children. 7 of these still survive but two, Susan the 1st and David the 6th have gone over deaths cold stream.
Sister Bishoff and her husband Samuel and Wm. Bishoff and his wife Catharine, were the early founders of Methodism at Albrights. These four established a prayer and preaching place in an old school house on the hill and their faithful efforts soon resulted in establishing and fully organizing a Methodist class at Albright then held in the school house. But God prospered and increased them both in number and power until the school house was inadequate so they and their associate class mates built the church that still stands as a monument for faithful service.
May God grant that those who still worship in this house may follow her as she followed Christ.
Funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Rev. Feather and Falkner, after which she was laid in the Albright cemetery.
