George Alberts

George Alberts was said to have been born 11 Apr 1887, son of Richard Alberts and Mary. He is not on the 1900 Federal Census with his parents.

The durant field notes 37/52 say he is 21, unmarried and living in Freesoil, Mason county.

George's son Spencer was born 11 Jan 1916 and died 11 Mar 1916 in Elbridge, Oceana county. Mother is listed as Madeline Bailey.

Sadly Madeline died 21 Oct 1918 in Elbridge at the age of 25.


On the 1920 census of Freesoil, Mason county, George, 32 is living with his brother Whitney's family. Egellia, 7 and Irene, 6 are listed as Whitney's nieces. Are these George's daughters?

George, age 42 and widowed is listed in the 1930 census in Meade township, Mason. Living with him is nephew Charles Skimhorn, 25. Both men are listed as full Ottawa, laborers in lumber woods.
