ALBERT R. WEINHOLD.

	Energetic and possessed of the perseverance, determination and 
sagacity which are indispensable elements in the attainment of success 
along commercial lines, Albert R. Weinhold of Evans is conducting a 
good business as a dealer in flour, feed and coal. He was born in 
Wilson, Kansas. June 7, 1882. and is a son of Samuel and Catherine 
(Grill) Weinhold. the former a native of Pennsylvania, while the latter 
was born in Ohio. The father is a farmer by occupation and when a boy 
removed to Illinois, after which he took up agricultural pursuits and 
at a later period he became a resident of Wilson, Kansas. He purchased 
land there about 1871 and bent his energies to the cultivation and 
improvement of his farm. which he has since operated. He has developed 
the place along progressive lines and now has an excellent property. 
His wife died in October, 1916.

	Albert R. Weinhold spent his youthful days in the usual manner of 
the farmbred boy who divides his time between the work of the fields, 
the pleasures of the playground and the duties of the schoolroom. He 
pursued his education in the district schools of Wilson, Kansas, until 
he had mastered the elementary branches of learning and later he became 
a student in the Midland College at Atchison, Kansas. When his student 
days were over he returned to the home farm. upon which he lived for 
two years, and in 1904 he removed westward to La Salle, Weld county. 
Colorado, and later became a resident of Greeley. In 1906 he took up 
his abode in Evans. Weld county, and purchased thirty acres of land 
within the corporation limits of the town. He at once improved this 
property and has since continued its cultivation with the exception of 
the last five years, during which period he has rented the land to 
others. In 1912 he established a flour, feed and coal business at Evans 
and has since conducted the business, which has steadily grown in 
volume and importance, so that he is now enjoying a gratifying 
patronage.

	In May, 1906, Mr. Weinhold was united in marriage to Miss Jennie 
Zimmer and they became parents of four children: Albert Z., who was 
born in May, 1907; Catherine, in June, 1911; and Earl and Merl, twins, 
born in December. 1913.
The religious faith of Mr. and Mrs. Weinhold is that of the 
Presbyterian church and their lives are guided by its teachings. 
Fraternally he is connected with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. 
Politically he is a democrat and has filled a number of local 
positions. He has been secretary of the school district, has served for 
two terms as a member of the town council and is the present mayor of 
the city, giving to Evans a businesslike and progressive administration 
that is recognizing its needs and its possibilities for development 
along civic lines.
