Alberta was born on the family's 630 acre ranch in 1887, 7 miles NW of Bozeman, MT. She was the second youngest of 10 children. When she was ready to begin her schooling, the Arnold family moved to Bozeman for the winter months, so she could attend elementary school there. After grade school, Alberta enrolled in a combination preparatory and college course at Montana Agricultural College; in which she studied in a one year course Domestic Science with a special interest in china painting and got her certificate in 1906. In that same year, Alberta ran for Carnival Queen of the Bozeman Fair and came in 4th place out of 9. The public voted for each contestant, and she had 230 votes.
Before her marriage, she spent many winters in Southern California with her parents at their home in Long Beach. She also had many trips around Mont which were reported in the Anaconda Standard newspaper quite often.
On June 20, 1916 Alberta Arnold married Jacob David "Conrad" Wipf, by a Catholic priest at the Arnold town home. Conrad and Alberta's first home was in Belgrade, MT where Conrad practiced veterinary medicine. They had 2 daughters Elise born in 1917, and Ellen born in 1918, both in Bozeman. In 1920 they moved to the Arnold Ranch on the East Gallatin River. The Wipf family had many happy memories of life on the ranch in the ensuing fourteen years. Alberta was an excellent cook and hostess. She had a gift for making guests welcome, all in the tradition of Arnold hospitality.
In 1934 the Wipfs moved from the ranch outside Bozeman and bought a house at 108 W Lamme within the town. It was at this time that Conrad entered the field service of the US Bureau of Animal Industry and engaged in testing cattle and worked toward the eradication of TB and brucellosis.
In 1939 he joined the staff of the Montana Livestock Sanitary Board and was with that agency until his retirement in 1960. For more that 20 years, Conrad was in charge of milk sanitation and was responsible for providing a safe supply of milk for the State of Montana. Alberta and Conrad shared a keen interest in activities of the MT Veterinary Medical Association and were always in attendance at their annual meetings.
Alberta was also an avid and accomplished bridge player. She was also a member of the Bozeman Duplicate Club and received the National Master Award. Many of her bridge parties were also reported in the local newspaper as well.
Following Conrad's death in 1961, Alberta went to live with her daughter Ellen Wipf Strobe and her family. Alberta was the last surviving child of William and Ellen, when she died in 1983, at the age of 96. At that time she had 12 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.
