Facts and Events
Gabriel Albin was born about 1782 in Harrison County. He served in the War of 1812 between December 11, 1812 and January 11, 1813. He was a Private in Capt. Arthur Layton’s Co. He died on December 21, 1862 in Hardin County, Ohio. He was buried in Norman Cemetery, Lynn Township, Hardin County. In circa 1818 or 1820, Gabriel donated land for the building of the Ebenezer Church Methodist in Harrison County. The method of heating this church is interesting: “. . . when first built, was heated in a singular manner. Four puncheon boards, four or five feet long, were fastened together so as to make a pen, then placed on the church floor, in which was placed some clay; this was hollowed out, and in the hollow was built a charcoal fire.” (20) References
