Albert F. Fidler is one of the self-made and highly successful young farmers and
business men of the county, and is a son of Levi Fidler, who was born April 28,
1819, in Berks county, Pennsylvania. Albert F.'s grandfather, Samuel, was a
native of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and was of Dutch ancestry. Adam Fidler (great
grandfather), who came originally from Germany, was the founder of this branch
of the Fidler family in America. Our subject's grandfather, Samuel Fidler,
fought in the war of 1812, and his great-grandfather, Adam, in the war of the
Revolution. Samuel Fidler was a brick plasterer and contractor by trade, and was
married to a daughter of Valentine Showalter, who was born in Pennsylvania and
descended from German ancestry.

Albert F. Fidler has made it a rule in his life to do what he does well.
Commencing life with comparatively nothing, but with a willing mind and heart,
he has attained a degree of success in life far above the average. He is yet a
comparatively young man, and his farm of two hundred and forty acres is one of
the most productive and successfully managed in Douglas county. In 1883 he was
united in marriage to Miss Anna Lewis, of Newman, Illinois, to whom he is much
devoted and who has been a true and devoted wife to him. They have the following
children: Mona and Wayne.
