ALBERT S. PINDELL, one of the most active, fearless and efficient administrative officers Larmier county ever had, was born on a farm August 21st, 1864, at Bonaparte, Iowa; came to Julesburg, Colorado, in 1882, and rode the range as cowboy until 1895, when he settled in Larimer county and engaged in farming and horse raising; moved to Wellington in 1905 and served the town as marshal for three years; appointed deputy sheriff in the fall of 1908 and moved his family to Fort Collins and is still a member of Sheriff Carlton’s official staff. Mr. Pindell married Alice R. McGinley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James McGinley, July 31st, 1898. Of this union four children have been born, Nellie, James, Alice and George. Mr. Pindell is recognized and feared by law breakers as a man who is alert in the discharge of his official duty and who never fails to get the person named in the warrant placed in his hands for execution.
