Albert is my Grandfather on my fathers side.

Albert worked on farms around the midwest most of his early life. In 1917 Al went to the Sweeney automotive school in Kansas City, Missouri. Which may have influenced his career in the army where he became an ambulance driver. I have a picture of the 138 ambulance co. 35th Division at Camp Doniphan in Oklahoma dated March 31, 1918. He kept some of his apparel which was passed down to me. His helmit, ambulance bag, arm band and trench kit, etc. During WWI he was stationed in France. After the war he worked with his brother John and August on a general farm in Utica, Yankton county South Dakota in the 1920's. Next to this farm was a visiting girl visiting from France. She came (she thought) to visit her brother. He told the farm owners she was coming and would be their house maid. She was not happy when she found out. Somehow they ran into each other. He could speak French, was handsome, and wooed her into marriage.
