Albert D. Packard (1855-1928) was born in Huron, Ohio, and died in Columbus, Ohio. He worked as an engineer for the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, as well as for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. He married Mary J. Packard (b. Hughes) in 1878. In 1887, Packard wrote to Mary Baker Eddy with an interest in studying at the Massachusetts Metaphysical College; however, there is no record of him doing so. He continued to write in for pamphlets and had an article published in the July 14, 1906, issue of the Christian Science Sentinel titled "Materiality Unreal."
