J. C. Albertson, Leading Sutter Citizen Called
Meridian, Aug. 27 James C. Albertson, for years one of the most prominent and most beloved resident of the district, died at his home at 7:30 a.m. today after an illness of several months. Funeral arrangements are being made in Colusa. Albertson was a native of Ohio, 82 years of age, and had resided here since boyhood. For several terms he was supervisor for district No. 3 of Sutter county, and administered the office in a manner that brought him honor. It was during this public service that he caused to be placed along the highways of his district the concrete watering troughs that still are to be seen, although of little use in these days of the tractor and the automobile. Albertson farmed a tract of land south of Meridian for many years and was still actively handling the property until he was stricken by his last illness. He had saved several interesting old time relics on his farm to be presented to the Marysville museum when that institution should be a reality. Surviving the deceased are his wife, Mollie and four sons, Royce and Frank Albertson of San Francisco, Lester Albertson of Lodi and Edwin Albertson of Meridian. He also leaves four grandchildren.
