From Albert's Obituary 1920

"Albert Walter was born near Pittsburgh, PA., in 1848 and was summoned by death from his earthly life on May 2, 1920, at the age of 72 years. When a young man, he came to Missouri and from there to Iowa an Cass County about Forty-four years ago where he lived most of the time for the remainder of his life.
While in Missouri, he united in marriage with Mary Moore. To this union were born six children, who are living. They are Mrs. Lucy Trent, Mrs. Myrtle Doty, Arthur Walter, of Lewis, Iowa; Charles Walter, of Walnut, Iowa; Mrs. Jennie Rhodes, of Seymour, Iowa; Mrs. Fourthy Partridge, of Washburn, N.D..
His wife was called from earth to her heavenly home fifteen years ago. Since that time, he has spent a few years in California and North Dakota, and had also made his home at different times with his children. There survive him his six children, one sister, Mrs. Bell of Arizona; and three brothers, John of Long Beach, CA., J.H. of Adrain, MO., and Will of Indiana.
He was industrious and a hard worker, choosing for his employment the kind of work that demanded hard labor and sometimes a lack of financial reward. About twenty-five years ago he united with the Christian Church of Lewis where he continued his membership until his death."
