Upon his return to America he was made station agent at Basco. and remained there until 1874. In 1879 he went west and lived in a number of different states. In New Mexico, Colorado and Kansas he engaged in the commission business. In Nebraska and Arkansas he engaged in farming. He remained in the west until 1918 when he returned to make his home with his daughter here, Mrs. John Emminga, at whose home he died Saturday night. His death was due to old age.

Mr. Albers was a life-long member of the Lutheran church, and a man who commanded the respect of all who knew him. The funeral will be held at Immanuel Lutheran church here and burial at Hebron cemetery beside his father and children, but the date has not been fixed, owing to the long distance of the children from here.
