   Arthur Thomas “Tom” Albaugh, age 77, passed away peacefully November 7, 2019 at his home near Scio surrounded by his loving family.

   Born September 29, 1942 in Dennison he was the oldest of three children to the late Arthur S. Albaugh and Elizabeth Hennen Albaugh. After graduating from Scio High School in 1960 he honorably served in the Army and Army Reserves until 1965. In 1966 he started working for Y&O Coal. Over the years he worked in their mines at Hopedale and Oak Park, Cadiz until retiring in 1980. A lifelong farmer, Tom proudly owned and operated Maple Springs Farm, which was started by his parents. He was honored that his children continued the family legacy becoming the third generation to own and operate the farm.
