Obituary Bismarck Tribune (April 15, 2005)
HANNOVER -- Harold M. Albers, 87, Hannover, died April 13, 2005 at his Bismarck residence. Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 16, at the St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Hannover, with the Rev. Greg Zillinger officiating. Burial will be in the Hannover Cemetery.
Visitation will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday at the church, where a prayer service will begin at 6 p.m. Visitation will continue from 9 a.m. until the time of services at the church on Saturday.
Harold Martin Albers was born Aug. 30, 1917, at the family farm near Hannover, the son of John F. and Anna (Maier) Albers. He attended rural school, St. Peter's Parochial school in Hannover and two years of high school in New Salem, before graduating from Edinburg, Ill., High School. He then attended one year of business school in Chillicothe, Mo. Harold then returned home and worked at the Register of Deeds office as a replacement for a few months and then for the Farm Security Administration until 1940, when his mother needed someone to run the farm. On Nov. 7, 1942, he married Pearl Marie Hickle at St. Peters Lutheran, Hannover. In 1970, Harold ran for the office of Oliver County Register of Deeds, Clerk of Court and County Judge. He was also appointed County Justice, retiring in 1990.
Harold was an excellent farmer and rancher and at one time, specialized in registered Hereford cattle. He was a Charter member of the Oliver County Farm Bureau and served as its secretary from 1949 to 1977. He loved and was a true steward of the land in the tradition set by his grandparents. Harold was a member dedicated in his service to his church. A testimony to his faith, he placed a large "CROSS ON THE HILL" dedicated to the Lord, overlooking the valley of the farm.
Harold found particular satisfaction in his days spent as a county judge. Dewey Kautzmann, former U. S. Magistrate in Bismarck, wrote in a letter to Harold in 1999, "I pointed out to the young lawyers that you were not law trained, but that you had more common sense in your little finger than most people have in their entire body. That you always read the Code, looked at the case law and had a wonderful ability to do justice, together with courage to see to it that it was carried out for every defendant that I ever saw appear in front of you."
Harold is survived by his wife, Pearl; his son and daughter-in-law, Mark and Laurie, Hannover, and their daughter, Megan; his brother and two sisters-in law, Wally and Darlene of Bella Vista, Ark., and Marcella Albers, Los Angeles; four foster brothers and sisters, Anna Albers, Fritz Kuch, Carl Kuch and Clara Jensen; and many special nieces and nephews.
His parents; his daughter, Dawn Marie; and four brothers, John, George, Arthur and Carl, preceded him in death.
Memorials may be directed to Dakota Boys Ranch, Concordia Seminary, St. Peter's Lutheran Church or the Lutheran Hour.
