He had just finished cleaning a revolver, and was closing the gun when it was discharged, the bullet entering the pit of his stomach. An operation was performed Monday evening, and the ball removed, but he sank gradually. Mr. Albers formerly lived at Bendena, and was a son of John Albers, who died a year ago. Herman owned a quarter section north of Severance, and farmed there, after leaving college, until last spring, when he sold out and purchased a half section near Alexandria. He was married five year ago to a Miss Howard, of Bendena. No children survive them. The burial will occur at Moray, at 11 o’clock Saturday morning. Dr. Clutz, of Atchison, will probably conduct the services. John Albers, the Bendena lumber dealer was a brother of Herman Albers.

The many friends of Herman Albers, who moved to Alexandria, Neb., last spring, were greatly distressed to hear that he had accidently shot himself on Monday of this week. It appears that he was cleaning his revolver when it was discharged the ball entering his body and piercing two of his intestines. The physicians were able to remove the ball but last reports his condition was very critical. Mrs. Albers’ parents, Joseph Howard and wife, of Bendena, and John Albers, a brother, went to Alexandria on Monday evening. Published in The Severance News (Severance, KS) Friday, Dec. 11, 1903 ******************************************************************** MEMORIAL Herman Gerheard Albers was born near Bendena, Kansas, March 18, 1868, and died at his home in Alexandria, Neb. Dec. 10, 1903. At the age of 21 he started out to farm for himself on the Archer farm belonging to his father which he farmed for four years, and was in Atchison county one year, near Effingham. November 25, 1896, he was married to Miss Lulu Howard, of Bendena. They bought a farm on the Highland road where they lived six years. In April 1903 they moved to Alexandria, Neb., where they had a fine farm, a lovely home and everything to make life pleasant and enjoyable. Death came to this happy home not by slow progress of disease giving due notice of his approach but sharp, sudden and unexpected. By a fatal accident in the prime of life our friend was called from a happy home and a tender, loving wife, from all that makes earth desirable; truly, it may be said of him, “His sun has gone down while it was yet day.” Herman Albers was a man who made friends wherever he went; a manly, upright citizen, a staunch friend and a tender, devoted husband. His was one of those free joyous natures that carry the sunshine of gladness and good fellowship with them always. He possessed all the attributes that go to make up a life in accord with the great plan of the Creator, and when a life like that of his is taken from earth there is indeed cause for sorrow. He leaves three brothers and one sister, and four half-brothers and two half-sisters. The sympathy of the entire community is with these sorrowing friends, but especially our hearts turn toward the young wife who has been bereft of the truest, kindest and most affectionate of husbands. The funeral was held in the church at Moray on last Saturday. Rev. Clutz, of Atchison, conducting the service. A large number of people were present anxious to pay the last tribute of love and respect to one who had lived all his life in the community, and who held the love and esteem of all.
