Sadly, there are no known photos of Albert. I do know that he was born in West Prussia in 1872.
He drowned in Chicago at the age of 9. His brother, Fred, tried to save him...
Rest in peace Albert, you are not forgotten!!

Albert's sister, Martha (Batzka) Waddell was an employee of the Wunder's family, possibly why this cemetery was chosen. Unknown if records exist showing him buried under another name...
