Oriola Jennison Letteer was born near Fairmont Springs, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, September 24, 1868. She departed this life January 16, 1933, at the age of 64 years, 3 months and 23 days. In her early teens, she was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, the church of her parents. For a number of years she taught in the public schools.
July 30, 1896, she was united in marriage with Rev. O. H. Albertson, at that time, a member of the Central Pennsylvania conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Immediately upon her marriage, Mrs. Albertson assumed the duties and cares of a pastor's wife, and for the ensuing twenty-seven years of their itineracy in the ministry this noble and gracious woman not only shared with her devoted husband the burdens and activities of their work, proving herself a friend and counsellor to multitudes in times of need, but also fulfilling to the highest degree those more intimate and exacting responsibilities laid upon the heart of a loving, self-sacrificing with and mother.
Four children were born to Rev. and Mrs. Albertson; two sons and two daughters, one of the boys preceding the mother into the Beyond at the age of two and a half years. The children surviving are: Miriam A. Alberston, M.D., of Fairmont, Neb.; Leland C. Albertson, M.D., ofAxtell, Neb., and Mildred L. Albertson, now engaged in educational work in Almora, United Provinces, India.
Early in October, 1907, Rev. and Mrs. Albertson, being transferred from the east to membership in the Nebraska conference, came to serve the charge at Gresham, and following this appointment a number of other Nebraska charges were faithfully served until the time of Rev. Mr. Albertson's retirement from pastoral work in September, 1923, when the couple came to Fairmont and have made this place their home ever since.
About two years ago, Mrs. Albertson began to experience some development of heart trouble, and in May, 1931, it was found necessary that she remain in bed for some months. In the following autumn, there was sufficient recovery so that she could be up and around again. But December 24, 1931, she suffered a severe heart collapse that left her utterly helpless. From this condition, she rallied slowly, but not sufficiently to leave her bed. At this critical time, her eldest daughter, Dr. Miriam Albertson who, before her mother's illness had gone to India as a medical missionary under the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, secured leave of a leave of absence and returned to care for her mother. Notwithstanding all the loving ministrations of her dear ones, it became apparent about three weeks ago that the patient was failing. She answered the summons about 5 o'clock last Monday evening.
Besides her beloved husband and three children, Mrs. Albertson is survived by one grandchild in Axtell; three sisters living in Canandaigua, N.Y.; a brother in Monroe, Wash., and many other distant relatives in Pennsylvania, and a host of friends in every community in which she has sojourned.
"She was a good wife and a good mother." Such were the simple and unaffected words spoken to this writer by her husband, as together we looked upon her while she lay in the quiet dignity of her passing. Former parishioners and other friends within possible distance ho could come were present in numbers when on Thursday afternoon the last rites of love were given at the residence and in the
Fairmont Methodist Episcopal Church. "Come, Ye Disconsolate" was sung by Mrs. Mabel Quinlan; the hymns "My Faith Looks Up," "Jesus, Lover of My Soul" and "My Jesus as Thou Wilt," by the same singer, together with Mrs. George Carney, Elwood Bender, Oliver Moul and W.E. Black, with Miss Velda Winsor accompanist. The scripture selections were read by Rev. E.A. Gaither of Shickley and prayer was offered by Rev. F. L. Harris of Exeter. Tributes of esteem were given by Rev. J.A. Martin of Fairmont and Rev. C.H. Lind, former pastor, now of Trumbull, and by the present pastor, all five ministers being members of the Nebraska Methodist conference.
Members of the church board acting as pallbearers were J.A. Anderson, Harry Bergstrand, W.R. Dorrance, H. Mills, A.R. Perkins and A.P. Stewart. Interment took place in Fairmont Cemetery.
