DAY, Albert G.
===========================================================================
Albert G. Day, Attorney, resident at Newaygo, was born at Glens Falls,
N.Y., April 6, 1845. He is a son of Pliny and Martha (Putnam) Day, and was
educated in the schools of his native town. At the age of 18 years he
engaged as a clerk in a general store, where he continued until the spring
of 1864, when he came to Newaygo. He found employment in the mercantile
establishment of S. K. Riblet and acted in the capacity of salesman until
the summer of 1867, when he went to Cheyenne, making the trip from Ft.
Laramie as an attaché of a mule train. He came back to Chicago and remained
during the winter. In the spring following he went to Muskegon, where he
passed a year as a lumber inspector. In November, 1868, he returned to his
former employ with S. K. Riblet, and operated as clerk and book-keeper
until November, 1869, when he entered the law office of Wm. D. Fuller,
preparatory to engaging in the duties of his profession. He was admitted to
practice in September, 1870, and from the establishment of his office has
had an extensive business, which is constantly increasing.

Mr. Day has been connected with the local and general interests of Newaygo
since he entered upon his business career. He was elected President of the
village in 1878-‘9. In 1872 he was elected Prosecuting Attorney of Newaygo
County, and held the position four years. He is a member of the Masonic
fraternity.

Mr. Day was married at Jackson, Mich., in March, 1874, to Libby, daughter
of Charles S. Laird, who was born on Prince Edward’s Island. One son has
been born of this marriage.
