His older brother, Frank, came to Nebraska in 1902. An older sister, Fanny Tesar, nee Frantiska Cihal, came to Wahoo in 1904. Albert came to Nebraska in 1908. He left home quietly and secretly as he was eligible for draft in the Austrian army. He did not wish to serve for Emperor Franz Josef. He did not even want to tell his young brother, Rudolf, age 7, that he was going away. He sneaked away from him through the back yard orchard. Here, in Saunders County, he worked on farm for a few years. His first job on the Frank Snitily farm was disappointing. He was lonesome and unhappy on this place away from close neighbors. Fun with his young friends in his home village was what he missed most. He said that, during the first few days, he would have returned to Moravia at once if he would have had the money for passage back. So he had to stay. Eventually he became used to rural life. He made acquaintances. His cousin, Mike Dvorak, was very close to him as a companion. They went to dances and celebrations together as well as visiting relatives. After a few years, Albert was able to start farming. He rented several different farms in Butler and Seward Counties. He married Albina Fiala on Febr. 18, 1918 at Dwight. They had three children who are Mrs. Albina Sisel, Dwight; Albert Cihal, Davey; and Mrs. Emma Greenwald of Oakland, California. In 1947, he bought an 80-acre farm one mile north of Valparaiso, described as E ½ of NW ¼, Section 23, Oak Creek Township. His wife, Albina, died in 1947. Albert farmed alone until he retired to a house in Valparaiso in 1970. He lived just east of the Catholic Church. That was his home until health failed him. Finally, he went to the David Place in David City. He died there on Oct. 11, 1979 and is buried in the Dwight Assumption Church Cemetery. Besides his three children, he was survived by ten grandchildren and many great-grandchildren. His brother, Rudolf, died in Moravia on Mar. 26, 1982, the last of that generation of the Cihal family.
