Albert Esmay McDole

Jackson County

Born in Cortland County, New York, March 29, 1850, and was the son of Jeremiah and Catherine (Esmay) McDole. The subject of this notice was but three years old when he was brought by his parents to this county, and received his early education in the schools of Sabula. Upon approaching manhood he was occupied at the lumber business, and in due time became foreman of the lumber. He also served in this capacity with the Clinton Lumber Company. He was married, July 7, 1875, in Sabula, to Miss Jennie, daughter of George and Adeline Canfield. Politically he voted the straight Republican ticket, and was a member of the School Board. He was elected Township Trustee in 1888, but declined to serve, having no desire for the cares and responsibilities of office. He has, however, at times, served as Street Commissioner and Road Supervisor. Socially, he belongs to the Modern Woodmen and Masonic fraternity. Although not a member of any church, he contributes to the support of the Gospel, and believes in the maintenance of Christian institutions. Mrs. McDole is a member in good standing of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
