ALBERT REGIER

Our husband and father, Albert Regier, was born on March 4, 1891, at Moundridge, Kansas, the oldest of three sons born to Abraham and Elizabeth (Kliewer) Regier. He passed from this life in his home at Burrton, Kansas at 5:00 p. m. April 16, reaching the age of 67 years, one month and 12 days.

Our father grew up on a farm near Moundridge. He received his early education at Paris School in Alta Township. He later attended the Hillsboro Preparatory School in charge of H. D. Penner, mother's uncle. He also attended the academy at Bethel College for a years.

In 1907 he moved with his parental family to Gotebo, Okla. where he lived for one year. The family then returned to Kansas in 1909, moving to a farm near Burrton where he lived until retiring from the farm in April of 1956.

While living in Oklahoma our father was baptized upon the confession of his faith by Rev. J. J. Kliewer and united with the Friedenstahl Mennonite Church. It happened that both he and mother were baptized with the same class though their paths again parted when he moved to California. In 1910 he united with the Burrton Mennonite Church where he remained a member until his death.
