[p. 773] general contractor in stone work, at New Castle, has been identified with the business interests of this city for the past thirty years. He was born in 1869, at Beaver Falls, Beaver County, Pa, and was very small when his father, James Yoho, came to Lawrence County.
Albert E. Yoho attended school through boyhood, at New Castle, and then learned the stone mason trade with his father. This has been his main business, and for the past nineteen years he has been engaged in stone contracting. A number of the handsome residences and other buildings at New Castle can be shown as specimens of his cut-stone work, notably, the beautiful homes of Hon, T. W. Phillips, George Greer and G. W. Lawrence, the stone work on the new Episcopal Church on Long Avenue, the Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, the foundation work of the Fourth Presbyterian Church and innumerable other builings which are ornaments to their respective neighborhoods.
In 1891 Mr. Yoho was married to Miss Ida McCay, a daughter of John McCay, and they have had three children: Alberta, Bertha and Helen, the two latter being deceased. The family belong to the Fourth Presbyterian Church, of which Mr. Yoho is a charter member and belongs to its board of elders. His fraternal connections are with the Odd Fellows and the Modern Woodmen. He takes that active part in politics that marks the good and public-spirited citizen.
