Died May 7, 1892
Albert B. Everts, age 44 years, died at his home on the corner of Huron and Ontario streets, this morning at 2 o'clock, of a complication of diseases, caused by the grip. Mr. Everts has been feeling badly all winter, but up to a day or so ago was able to be out doors. He came to this city about ten years ago, and acted at one time on the New York Central R.R. as brakeman, baggageman and conductor, his father having been an old railroad man. During his residence here he has made many friends, and was employed as finisher for the Ohio Paper Co. A wife and two children are left to mourn his loss. The funeral will take place Tuesday under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, of which order he was a member. Rev. J. G. Lowie[sic], of the Presbyterian church will deliver the sermon.
