Albert Bredthauer
Albert C. Bredthauer, the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Bredthauer, was born on a farm seven miles west of Ord on Feb. 13, 1891, and departed this life last Sunday morning, March 11, 1951. Apparently enjoying good health, his death came unexpectedly at the age of 60 years and 26 days.
In early infancy he was baptized into the Christian faith, and later affiliated with Zion Lutheran Church in Scotia through the rite of Confirmation. He remained an active member of this congregation.
As a young man he moved with his parents to a farm south of Scotia where he lived until 1909, when he joined his brother, Henry, and his sister, Mrs. P. J. Seefus, in operating a general store in Scotia. He entered the armed services of his country, and served in the First World War. He saw overseas duty from July, 1918, to May, 1919. He received his honorable discharge in June of that year. He was a member of American Legion Post No. 150 of Scotia.
On Sept. 6, 1920, he was united in marriage to Miss Gertrude Horton, who passed away on Aug. 25, 1931.
In 1933, the business partnership with his brother and sister was dissolved. Henry retained the car agency and Albert took over the department store, which he owned and operated very successfully until the present time. This store has become one of the leading business places, not only of Scotia, but of the Loup Valley territory.
On Jan. 3, 1933, Mr. Bredthauer was united in marriage to Miss Ruby Horton, who remains to mourn his loss.
Mr. Bredthauer will be remembered as an ardent supporter of worthwhile enterprises. He was interested in the promotion of better roads and irrigation, and in the development of oil drilling operations for the Loup Valley region. He was actively concerned with the welfare of his family, his friends, his church and the community.
He has served as commander of the Scotia American Legion post, county American Legion commander, president of the Scotia Community Club and director of the Loup Valley Irrigation Association as well as holding many other civic offices and responsibilities during his years of service to the community.
He was preceded in death by his father in 1914, his mother in 1926, a sister, Mrs. Lena Sommer, in 1939, his wife, Gertrude, in 1931, by a brother, David, in 1944, and his brother, Henry, in 1948.
Remaining to mourn his loss are his wife, his sister, Mrs. P. J. Seefus of Scotia, three brothers, Herman and William of Scotia and Ed of Pasadena, Calif., many other relatives, and numerous friends and business acquaintances. Funeral rites were held at the Zion Lutheran church in Scotia yesterday afternoon and were attended by nearly 600 friends, relatives and business associates who came to pay their final respects to a generous and respected Christian gentleman. The local American Legion post conducted rituals at the Scotia cemetery.
