He had been in feeble health for many months, suffering from a complication of diseases incident to old age, and while death was not unexpected the announcement was received with a painful shock to those who had known him. In early life and until he was 34 years of age he followed a sea-faring life, being a captain of a ship on the Baltic Sea. In 1856 he was married to Caroline Meder and the same year emigrated to the Unites States, coming to the state of Wisconsin, where he entered land and remained for three years, then disposed of his farm and removed to Clayton County; he returned to Wisconsin three years later and purchased a farm on which he lived 17 years. In 1879, he came to Clayton County again, locating at Mederville, where he remained until his death. He leaves to mourn his death a wife, three sons and one daughter. Henry, the oldest son, resides at Milwaukee and is in the employ of the Wisconsin railroad Company, Alfred lives at Mederville and Albert at Greeley, Ia. The sister, Maria, is the wife of John Kahrs, a prosperous farmer living near Mederville. Mr. Albrecht was known as a good citizen, a kind husband and father, a man of intelligence, with strong conviction, yet quite an unassuming in his demeanor: a man who always attended strictly to his own business. During a long and intimidate acquaintance with deceased , and those with whom he lived and associated the writer cannot recall one word of censure or blame that he ever heard uttered against him or any unkind remark coupled with his name. Upright and honorable in his dealing with his fellowmen, he has left to his prosperity, the rich heritage of an untarnished character. We believe he left the world without any enemy, and honored and respected by all who knew him. The funeral was from the late home on Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. G. W. Baxter of Elkader, the interment being in Mederville cemetery. The respect in which the deceased was held was evidenced by the large attendance at the funeral. May this good man rest in peace.
