Albeeville, California

"[4]: 61  Another description of the location is, "... in Humboldt County at the old Albee ranch at the junction of North Fork and Redwood Creek.

Joseph Porter Albee, born May 28, 1815, in Sandusky, Ohio, was raised by his parents Joseph and Electa (Crippen) Albee on a farm in New York State before moving to Michigan and marrying Caltha ("Calthea") Putnam of Ohio.

[3] Albee ran a hotel on the trail between Arcata and the Klamath Mines,[3] and operated the post office from March 5, 1862, to April 2, 1863.

[5] Albee returned to look after his ranch, believing his good dealings with Indians in the past would protect him, but was ambushed and killed[5] on November 5, 1863; the house and barn were burned and the stock taken or run off.

[3] His family was left in difficult circumstances, but Mrs. Albee moved from Arcata to Clark & A Streets in Eureka, raised their eight surviving children, and accumulated property in the region[3] until her own death in 1905 at age 90.
