Albert Morey
Abt. 1842-Feb. 12, 1892
Albert Morey, a man who has been hostler in Bunbury's livery more or less for several years, died last night in the calaboose, where [he] had been given shelter and was being cared for during the past few days. A man had been assigned to take care of him, and last evening his attendant started out to get him some supper, asking him what he wanted. Morey told him to get him anything. When the attendant returned, Morey was dead. But little is known as to Morey's history. He has said that he has a 15 years old daughter in Detroit and a brother who is a Captain on the Lakes. He came from Buffalo, New York, where his father was a liveryman. He was probably fifty years old.

Albert Morey came to Niles about three years ago and went first to the Bunbury livery born. He desired work enough to enable him to purchase his supper. Will Bunbury gave him 25 cents for a meal, and afterwards employed him about the livery, where he worked several months. Then he went to St. Joe for a time, returning here later and hired out at the Horse Hotel. Then he worked about the city, doing odd jobs, such as washing buggies and cleaning harness. About ten days since he was taken ill and supervisor J.A. Peck saw that he was well cared for at the city's station house, a physician and watcher being employed. He died Friday p.m. at 6 o'clock. The funeral occurred from the Methodist church Sunday morning at 9 o'clock. Interment was in Silver Brook cemetery. Morey was a well educated man, and once owned property in Detroit, which he gave to his daughter. He was about 50 years old, was very fleshy and would wiegh near 300 pounds. His death was caused from the grip. It required a much larger casket than could be obtained her, and one was ordered from Kalamazoo. Being a non-resident, all expenses will be paid by the county. One Capt. Walker, of Chicago, was his brothe-in-law[sic], and Morey claimed to have a daughter living with his sister somewhere in Ohio.
