Biography

Albina was born 26 Oct 1908 in Manhattan as 'Catherine Marie Singleton.' Her parents were Charles Smith (USA, 1886) and Lena Singleton (NY, USA, 1892).^[1] She was adopted by Alois and Marianna Slavik at age 2 (after the 1910 census). Albina was an "Orphan Train" child. The 1920 census retained her 'New York' birth place but this was replaced with 'Texas' in subsequent census reports.^[2][3][4] It should also be noticed that her birth is sometimes listed as 12 Oct 1908^[5][6] rather than 26 Oct 1908.

After moving to Washington, D.C. briefly (where her adopted sister Frances lived), Albina married John Robert Martin in 1935^[7] in Florida where they lived until his death in 1972. Albina moved back to Texas, where she lived until passing away on 4 Sep 1995.^{[8][9][6][10][11]}
