1. Henry Norman Albury Marker
For over a half a century, visitors to Man-O-War Cay enjoyed the hospitality of Normal Albury. He was a descendant of one of the oldest families in the islands and entertained guests to his island in that tradition. Not only did he point out the delights of Man-O-War Cay but also sang island songs, recited poetry, and told stories. During his long life and career, Norman Albury was a schoolteacher, carpenter, and sailmaker. He served his community well as a member of the local board of works and an unofficial mayor of Man-O-War Cay.
