Notes for Albert V. (Spouse 1)
Albert initially lived in Altoona, Pa. In 1938 he lived at 3806 4th Avenue and was treated at Altoona Hospital for a thumb fracture, suffered while cutting stone with a chisel. The 1940 Census lists an Albert Lauer as a laborer at the steam railway shops, but it is unclear if this the correct Albert, because it lists a wife named Mary and children Albert Jr., Barbara, James, Charles and Mary.

In 1967, 64 year old Albert V. Lauer of Fort Wayne, Ind., was a train engineer involved in an accident near Lima Ohio. A car drove around a flashing crossing gate and collided with the caboose of a passing train. Albert was approaching in another train from the opposite direction and pulled the emergency cord to reduce speed. The second collision with the wayward car could not be avoided, but the speed reduction greatly lessened the impact and there were no fatalities. Albert’s residence in Fort Wayne is confirmed by the 1983 obituary of his sister, Sr. Sara Ann Lauer.
