He was apparently the subject of this newspaper story from 13 jun 1924 (Santa Ana Register (Santa Ana, Orange Co., California): "Beat Landlady's Wee Son, Charge &mdash Accurse of administering a severe beating to the five-year-old son of his landlady, L. Z. Hoskins of 1243 West Fourth street, today was in jail here, charged with battery. The police last night received a telephone message stating that "a man is killing a boy with a club," and officers at once rushed to the scene to find the "would-be murderer" according to Police Officer Sid Smithwick, who signed the complaint against Hoskins. Mrs. Myrtle Albright, mother of the boy who was said to have been severely beaten with a club, did not appear very deeply concerned in the matter, Smithwick said. Neighbors, however, declared that "no such going on will be tolerated in this part of town," so the officers did their duty, according to Officer Smithwick."
The 1920 census (Santa Ana, Orange Co., California) shows the young son as David, age 1 8/12 years (presumably as of the census day, January 1, 1920, thus placing his birth in April, 1918). In the 1930 census (Blaisdell Precinct, Yuma Co., Arizona), the son of the corresponding age is listed as Robert.
A notice in the San Bernardino County Sun 27 feb 1931, p. 15, turns out to have additional significance: "Police Hunt Morrow to Tell Him Stepson Safe at Holtville. If W. M. Morrow, believe to be in the vicinity of Colton, reads this, he will know that his 12-year-old stepson, Robert Albright, is at Holtville, staying with Mrs. W. H. Meyer. Mrs. Meyer yesterday wrote to the Colton police department that the boy had come to her house in search of food and clothing. He stated that the stepfather and L. V. Hoskins had gone to Colton from Yuma, Ariz. The boy, having permission to visit Yuma friends, returns to the truck where he was said to have met the stepfather, after the vehicle had gone. Mrs. Hoskings requested the police to assist in locating the adults." Holtville is in Imperial Co., California, between San Bernardino and Yuma. Mrs. W. H. Meyer was Hazel, wife of William H. Meyer, This couple is listed on the 1930 census with their "ward" James Albright, age 15, born in Colorado. James was David's elder brother. W. M. Morrow was the William Warrow who may nor may not have married their mother, Myrtle Reedy, after leaving her second husband L. V. Hoskins.
We found his obituary in the News Leader (Staunton, Virginia) 04 jun 2000, p. 2: "David R. Albright. STAUNTON - David Robert "Bob" Albright, 82, formerly of Baldwin Park, died at 3:45 a.m. Saturday (June 3, 2000) at the Stuarts Draft Christian Home. He was born May 9. 1918, at Denver, a son of Issac and Frances E. Reedy Albright. He was a merchant marine, a retired electrician from Local 6 IBEW, involved in the City of South San Francisco's local government, president of the local water board there and a member of the Episcopal Church. He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Jeanne Albright; a sister; and two brothers.
