			Abraham Albrecht, son of Heinrich and Helene (Penner) Albrecht, was born Oct. 19, 1880, in Lysanderhoe, Russia.

			In 1884, at the age of three years, he came with his parents to this country, settling with the Mennonite group near Beatrice, Neb. He received his early education in the local German-English parochial school.

			In June 1897 he was baptized on confession of his faith in Jesus Christ as his Savior by Elder Gerhard Penner and received into the membership of the First Mennonite church of Beatrice.

			On Aug. 28, 1912, he was united in marriage to Lena Ratzlaff, daughter of Andrew and Susie Ratzlaff. this union was blessed with three children, a son and two daughters. In their Christian home they enjoyed God’s blessing in their endeavor to serve God in His Kingdom.

			He felt called to serve God in Christian education. To prepare himself for this work, he finished the Bible course offered at Bethel College in 1910, received the Bachelor of Arts degree at Bethel College in 1923, and the Master’s degree from Kansas University in 1924.

			At the Western District Conference session in 1911 he was ordained as conference evangelist. He then served the Home Mission Board as evangelist and also as teacher of religion in Bible schools at Meno, Okla., and at Inman, Kansas, where he helped to organize the Inman Mennonite church. He also served as interim professor at Hesston College, on the faculty of Goessel High school, and as principal of the Hillsboro Bible academy.

			In 1937 he was called to minister to the church at Ransom, Kansas. During this time he served as secretary of the Western District Conference for a number of years.

			It was during these years that his health began to fail and it was necessary to take up less strenuous work. After several years of failing health, he became seriously ill on Wednesday, Feb. 23, 1955, and departed this life on Sunday, Feb. 27. “There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His.”

			He leaves to mourn his departure his wife; one son, Paul, and family of Park Forest, Ill.; two daughters, Mrs. Marvin Dirks and family of Lombard, Ill. and Mrs. Herbert Miller and family of Newton, Kansas.
