His grave is located in Section 2, Lot 850. His wife, Mary Hawes Albee (1848–1907), is buried with him. Albee enlisted in Company G (Wisconsin), Berdan's Sharpshooters in June 1862.

He later enlisted in 1863 as an artilleryman in the 3rd Wisconsin Light Artillery but was discharged to accept a commission as 2nd lieutenant in the 36th Wisconsin Infantry; he was later promoted to 1st lieutenant.
