Photograph of Edwin S. and Maude A. Albaugh

This photograph of Edwin S. and Maude A. Albaugh was taken around 1940. Edwin S. Albaugh (b.1869, d. 1948) was born to Benjamin and Priscilla Albaugh and worked as a watchmaker and jeweler. He was part of a firm, "Albaugh & Pickering," and later had his own shop on East Gay Street in Columbus. During his career, Albaugh invented the first ball-bearing clock and the largest watch in the world, which measured three feet and weighed 320 pounds. He was married to Maude Atcherson Albaugh (b. 1875, d. 1946) in 1895. Albaugh moved from Columbus to Worthington in 1920 and purchased an 18 acre farm just south of town. The Albaughs resided in the home they built at 55 Kenyon Brook in Worthington nicknamed "The Jewelmaker's Retreat."
