Albin T. Johnson was the second son of Swedish immigrants John A. Johnson and Margaret “Maggie” H. Johanssen. Born in Washington Territory on June 11, 1886, Albin was a child of the Pacific Northwest frontier.

His parents had arrived in the Seabeck area of Kitsap County just three years prior to his birth, homesteading 74 acres in the Lone Rock community. Albin grew up on this family land alongside his older brother, Edward Johnson. The 1900 Federal Census records Albin as a fourteen-year-old student, living at home while his father worked as a day laborer and his mother managed the household.

Tragically, Albin’s life was cut short just a year later. He passed away on May 2, 1901, at the age of fourteen. While the cause of his death remains unknown, his passing was a significant loss to the small Lone Rock community. He was the first member of his immediate family to be interred at Seabeck Cemetery.
