Additional Information: | Fred Albrecht was born in Pommern, Germany, in 1858 to John and Sophia Albrecht. He migrated with his parents to the Town of Milford in 1867, where John began farming what grew to be a 200-acre farm. Fred later took over operation of the farm, and acquired an additional 80 acres of farmland. Fred Albrecht married Minnie Bredow in 1891, around which time he constructed a new house on the farmstead at N9045 County Highway Q. Albrecht was a stockholder in the First National Bank of Watertown and active with the Jefferson County Fair Association. He served six years as the road supervisor and was secretary for the Mamre Moravian Church. |
