Title	Albert Academy Bulletin
Subject	Religion in Ohio Education Religious education Missionaries Schools
Place	Mowrystown (Ohio) Highland County (Ohio) Sierra Leone
Description	This special edition of the Bulletin of Albert Academy was published in November 1918 by the school, which was located in Sierra Leone in western Africa. The front cover indicates that publication of the annual prospectus would be delayed until 1919 due to paper shortages, war conditions, and the influenza epidemic. This 7-page pamphlet measures 3.7" by 7" (9.4 by 17.8 cm). It includes a staff list, school calendar and fee schedule. The final page includes an image of the main building on campus. The Albert Academy was located in Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa. The school's paramount objective was to prepare young men to be missionaries by instructing them in religion, literature, and industrial work. The school opened in temporary quarters in 1904 and moved to its permanent location in 1908. Five students made up the first class, but the school had educated more than 620 students by 1918 and 33 had completed their course of studies. Reverend Lloyd B. Mignerey (1896-1988) was born in Mowrystown, Ohio. He graduated from Otterbein College in 1917, then enlisted in the U. S. Army. During World War I he served in the Medical Corps and drove an ambulance in France. Following the war he studied at the Sorbonne in Paris briefly before returning to the United States. He served as the field secretary for the Anti-Saloon League of America until the 18th amendment, which prohibited the sale of alcohol, was passed. He married Ruth Phillips on September 11, 1921. In December of the same year they departed for missionary work in Sierra Leone, where they served until 1924. In Sierra Leona he became acting principal of Albert Academy and became an avid supporter of the movement for one universal language, Esperanto. In 1926, he was ordained into the ministry; he served in United Brethren churches in Lancaster, Chillicothe, and Jackson. Mignerey obtained his private pilot's license in 1940 and enlisted in the Air Force as a "Sky Pilot" chaplain in 1942. He remained in military service throughout World War II and the Korean conflict. When he returned to civilian life in 1955 he became editor for the Temperance Education Foundation in Westerville, Ohio until he retired in 1964.
