Albert Joseph Barnaud, Sr.

Albert Joseph Barnaud was born to immigrant parents — Elie Barnaud of France and M.L. Cornelia Amolette from French Canada. In 1903, Albert Joseph Barnaud graduated from the College of the Holy Cross (a Jesuit-run liberal arts college). He moved to the Philippines to help establish the Philippine public school system in July 1903, where he was assigned in Tagbilaran, Bohol as a supervising teacher. During his stay in the Philippines, the multi-lingual Albert joined the Esperanto Association, a global movement which tried to promote an international language, Esperanto. Albert met a young Filipina, Felisa Matig-a, and sired a son, Arturo. When he left the Philippines in June 1913, he was working as a cashier at the Manila Hotel. Upon returning to the United States, he worked primarily as a trade executive for the Bureau of Commerce. He married Marie T. Keane and had a family together. Albert was 5 feet 5 inches tall with brown hair and brown eyes. He died in Los Angeles, California on 20 August 1960 at the age of 78.
