At New Brunswick, N. J., June 21, 1904, Thomas Shipley Alberti, in the 93d year of his age.
Mr. Alberti was the son of George F. and Anne Shipley Alberti and was born in Philadelphia, Pa., March 18, 1812. In 1838 he was married to Asenath F. Randolph, who died in 1893. He is survived by a son, William M. Alberti and three daughters, Mrs. Ernestine A. Howell, Mrs. Elmina Whiting and Mrs. Georgiana Titsworth. Mr. Alberti accepted Christ as his Saviour in 1829 and the year following he was baptized and became a member of a Baptist church in the city of Philadelphia. In 1836 he began keeping the Sabbath and united with the Piscataway Seventh-day Baptist church. In 1838 he was one of the constituent members of the Plainfield church. When the new church was organized he was elected clerk, which office he held for thirty years. Mr. Alberti is spoken of as "the father of the Plainfield Sabbath-school." He secured the organization of the school in 1841 and was its first superintendent. He loved the Bible and was an enthusiastic and able teacher for many years. Throughout this very long life he has been a man of unusual activity in business, philanthropic, and religious circles. He grew old gracefully. To the very last his mind was clear, his eye was bright, his step was elastic and his heart was young. The Plainfield church will miss his visits and his letters. The churches in New Brunswick will miss him. The poor of that city will miss him. The prisoners in the jail will miss him. His children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren will miss him keenly. The later years of his life were spent in the home of his son-in-law, Prof. Alfred A. Titsworth in New Brunswick, where the farewell service was held on June 24, conducted by his pastor, assisted by Rev. L. E. Livermore and the Rev. J. F. Shaw, the pastor of the First Methodist Church of New Brunswick. The burial was at Hillside Cemetery, Plainfield. The key of this good man's life as indicated by his letters and by his daily walk was "God is love" and "the joy of service."
