Read More	Married 9 Dec 1894 in Harrison County, Iowa Albert SCHWERTLEY - The Schwertley family came from Germany to the United States in 1884, and at once located in Harrison county, Iowa. Albert Schwertley was eleven years of age at the time his parents came to this country and has spent his whole life since that time within the limits of this county. He started out as a renter after his marriage and now owns two hundred acres of well-improved land, all of which has been made by his own good management and close economy. Albert Schwertley, the son of William and Rachel (Voltz) Schwertley, was born on October 5, 1873 in Germany. The six children born to his parents were all born in Germany and Albert was the youngest living of the family at the time of their immigration. The education of Albert Schwertley was received partly in the schools of his native land, and completed in the schools of Harrison county, Iowa, where his parents located after coming to this country. He worked on the home farm during his boyhood days, both in his native land and after locating in this county. He helped his father on the Harrison county farm until his marriage and then rented land, continuing as a renter for thirteen years. He then bought one hundred and sixty acres of land in section 4 of Clay township, where he now lives. The place was only partially improved when he acquired it, but he has since added a machine-shed, hog houses, cribs and a garage, as well as making many other improvements of a general nature. He has added forty acres to his original purchase and now has two hundred acres of land on which he raises as good crops as any farmer in the county. The farm is well drained, well fenced and among the most productive in this section of the county. He annually feeds about one hundred head of hogs for the market, and also raises cattle and horses in similar proportions. Mr. Schwertley was married on December 19, 1894, to Alberta Stines, who was born on October 27, 1876, in Clay township, in this county, a daughter of John and Linea (Beeman) Stines. Her parents are natives of Owen county, Indiana, and located in Harrison county, Iowa, in 1873, where they reared a family of seven children, Mrs. Schwertley being the fifth child. Mr. Schwertley is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Modern Woodmen of America. The Democratic party receives his hearty support, but he confines his political activity to the casting of his ballot for its candidate. He has never had any political aspirations and contents himself with attending to his own private interests. He and his wife are loyal members of the Christian church and are deeply interested in its welfare. Mr. Schwertley is held in high esteem by his friends and neighbors and is in every way one of the representative men of the community. Source: 1915 Harrison County Iowa History, pp. 794, 795
