Elizabeth A. James was born in Grays (Graves) County, Kentucky, October 29, 1850. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph James.
October 12, 1869 She was united in marriage with Amos A. Albritton, who passed to the great beyond November 6, 1901. To this union nine children were born, seven of whom survive her. Two daughters, Emmer Caroline and Mary E.(Bettie) preceded their mother in death. Emmer having died in infancy and Bettie who had grown to womanhood died in 1907.
When only seven years of age Mrs. Albritton was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church at her home in Kentucky. She has from that date remained a member of the Methodist church and lived a consistent christian life.

Mrs. Albritton and her husband came to Illinois about 1880 and in 1899 came to Hamilton County.
The deceased was a member of the Methodist church for sixty-five years. She was true to her religious convictions and faithful to her church. During her last illness, which was brief, she assured her loved ones that she was ready to go. She had no fears. In her passing we are reminded of the poet:
Servant of God well done,
The battle's fought, the victory's won.
And Thou art crowned at last.
