In 1900, Albert and his family were living on a farm in Pottsville in Pope County, Arkansas.  They lived very near his uncle’s family—the family of Arthur Boggess, son of Charles and Isabella Boggess.   He was also living two farms away from his parents.  Albert was a Physician at that time.  By 1910, Albert was a retail merchant in a grocery store and he had moved his family into a home on Washington Street in Russellville.  In 1920, Albert was an agent working for an oil company.  In 1930 Albert and his family lived on East 4^th Street in the same city, where he was managing a farm.
