Dr. Albert Luther Candy died in Lincoln, Nebraska at the age of 88. He was born March 12, 1857 in Indiana, the son of Jacob and Hannah Candy.
He had been an outstanding figure in the ranks of Nebraska educators for more than 50 years. He went to Nebraska in 1893 to take over the duties of instructor of mathematics, of which department he was chairman until his retirement from active duties in 1935. He was a graduate of the University of Kansas, from which he held A.B. and A.M. degrees. Later he was given a Ph.D. degree by Nebraska.
Albert was professor of mathematics and civil engineering at Campbell University, Holton, Kansas, from 1886 until 1891, and a member of the faculty at the old Fremont normal school the following two years. For four years, in the twenties, he served as acting dean of the college of arts and sciences at the state university.
He began as an instructor of mathematics, became adjunct professor in 1900, associate professor in 1904 and received his full professorship in 1907. He was the author of Analytical Geometry, a widely-used textbook, and of four other books of a highly technical character. In addition he contributed freely to various scientific magazines.
Albert was a member of the American Mathematical society, Mathematical Association of America, serving as president of the Nebraska section, American Academy for the Advancement of Science and the American Association of University Professors.
He found time from professional duties to take an active interest in civic affairs. In 1909 and in 1911, at a time when Lincoln was changing its form of government, he was elected as a member of the board of aldermen from the old Second ward, long a boss-ridden precinct, testimony to the high regard of the voters to his standing and character. For a number of years he was a director of the Social Welfare society, and it was during his incumbency as president and due to his efforts that it purchased permanent quarters. He was long an active and influential member of the Presbyterian church.
Albert married Edna L. McCain on August 24, 1886 in Newton County, Indiana. They had a son, Albert McCain Candy. After Edna passed away, Albert married Ella Van Brunt in 1895 in Lincoln, Nebraska. They were married for 53 years. They had a son, Bergen Van Brunt Candy. He died in 1897, nine days after his birth. Ella was a native of Newark, New Jersey. She taught at the Ella Willard school in New York before moving to Nebraska.
A $10,000 mathematics fellowship at the University of Nebraska was created from Albert's estate according to provisions set forth in his will. The fellowship, to be open to "men of good moral character, graduates of the University of Nebraska or a school of equal rank," was established after the death of his widow.
In addition to his wife, Ella, Albert was survived by a son, Albert M. Candy of LaGrange, Illinois.
There may be a second deceased infant with his second wife: Infant Son, 5/08/1899 - 5/17/1899, burial unknown.
