Norma Hammer Albury spent her earliest years in Alberta, Canada, and in Missouri before moving to Zona now Davie Fl. with her parents and ten brothers and sisters in 1913. Her father, William H. Hammer, was one of a number of farmers from the western plains who were drawn to the rich muck lands of western Broward County after completion of several south Florida drainage canals opened portions of the Everglades to cultivation. Norma's family moved to Miami Fl after 8 years of farming and she met and married Bill (William) Albury in 1925. In 1929 our first daughter, Zada, was born. We went through the Great Depression years. That is a story in itself. In the midst of it, 1934, our son David was born. Soon after that, Bill went
into the excursion-fishing boat business and began to make some money. We built a nice home, where we lived for 20 years, and where our last child, Roxanna, was born in 1943. This was, of course, during WWII. In 1958, Bill having retired from the boat business, we moved up the coast some 175 miles from Miami, to Indialantic where Zada had moved shortly after her marriage. Active members of the First Baptist church of Melbourne Fl. The Albury's split their summers and winters between Fl. and a summer home in Cashiers, NC. Bill died in June of 1995. Their son David passed in Oct. of 1983 of renal failure in Miami. Norma was survived by two daughters, nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
