Albert Matlack, a lithographer and gilder, born ca. 1821 in Pennsylvania, worked in Philadelphia between the 1850s and 1880s.
By 1860, Matlack resided in Spring Garden at 1216 Ridge Avenue (Ward 14) with his wife Eliza Fudge (b. ca. 1821) and her mother
Hannah Fudge (b. ca. 1788). Matlack and Eliza owned and operated a millinery and a manufactory. By 1880 Matlack was widowed,
worked as a lithographic printer, and boarded with fellow lithographic printer James Hennesey (b. ca. 1862), and James's mother
Mary Hennesey (b. ca. 1840) at 906 Aurora (i.e.. Latimer) Street in Ward 8. In the early 1880s, city directories listed Matlack
as a porter at this address, and by 1884 as a gilder living in South Philadelphia.
