John Albertson lived in a log house located about where Frogge's store now stands, on west

making the brick used in building the first courthouse. I. D. Albertson attended the
famous Mt. Cumberland Academy in Poplar Cove and became a teacher. He followed farming and
teaching. He was elected County Trustee in 1886. He was elected Circuit Court Clerk in
1888 and served eight years.
