The Albert family was in Indiana before 1859 when Charles Davis was born. The house where the family lived in New Albany was torn down to make room for the interstate highway. Charles’ father, John Albert, had a store on Main Street and was a charter member of the Pawnee Red Men.
Charles was an assistant ticket receiver for the Penn. Lines West in 1886, and then a ticket agent for M K & T Railroad at Fort Worth. By 1890, he was a ticket agent for Rock Island Railroad; later a passenger agent for Santa Fe Railroad in Chicago, and finally, an agent for the Milwaukee Railroad in Chicago.
