with his family from Ohio to California. (Wife - Minerva and children -
Georgia, Clara Bell and Albert Herman). He later moved to Whatcom Co. in
Washington and established a dairy. Isabelle’s father, Alexander Charles,
was an early pioneer in Whatcom County.

Virginia, Charles Jackson, Jeanelle.
Albert H. (Bert) moved with his young family to Hanford, WA in 1909. In
Hanford, he first established a livery stable; next was a contracting business

wells dug for “Soldier Settlement” properties. In 1924, he and family
returned to Bellingham to operate the dairy his father had established.
