Alberta
Josephine “Bertie” Albritton
was born on November 11, 1872 in Graves County, Kentucky. She was the daughter of Adam Atkinson Albritton and Ophelia Collier.
Alberta’s father died just 17 months
after her birth. Her mother remarried
shortly thereafter to a man named Allen S. Heflin.
Alberta married J. Gibson around 1890
in Kentucky. They had one child:
Geraldine born April 1892
J. Gibson must have passed away,
because Alberta remarried to George Washington Carter in 1898. She was 26 years old and he was 21
years. George was born on July 23, 1878
in Mayfield, Graves County, Kentucky, the son of David and Elizabeth J. Carter.
George and Alberta had six children:
Lorena M. born December 7, 1899
Gus W. born
June 10, 1901
Shelburn born 1904
Clifford born 1906
Ruth F. born 1911
Josephine born 1914
After their marriage, the couple
purchased a home and settled their family in Union City, Obion County,
Tennessee. In 1910, George was working
as an insurance agent.
George registered for the draft for
the First World War on September 12, 1918. At that time, he and Alberta and their
children were living at 604 North Division Street in Union, Obion County,
Tennessee. He was described as of medium
height and slender build, with blue eyes and brown hair. He did not fight in the war.
In 1930, George and his son, Gus were
in Denver, Denver County, Colorado. They
were either visiting or living with his daughter, Lorene, and her husband
Herman Bell. Meanwhile, Alberta was
renting a home on South Grand Avenue in Daytona Beach, Volusia County, Florida.
Alberta Josephine Albritton Gibson
Carter died on February 27, 1932 in Daytona Beach, Volusia County, Florida.
She was 60 years old at her death. She was buried in Union, Obion County, Tennessee
