Albert H. Schreiber Jr. was born July 23, 1935 in Onida, SD to Albert and Birdie (Torbert) Schreiber. He attended school in Agar, graduating in 1953. After the death of his father at the age of 14, Albert started helping on the family farm.
On June 3, 1959 he was united in marriage to Reada Jacobs at the Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Gettysburg. They made their home on the homestead in Sully County where Albert lived his entire life. For a short time Albert worked on the dams for the Corp of Engineers and later went on to work with the Sully County Highway Department as a blade operator and a truck driver for 27 years. Albert continued to farm his own land while working. He also custom shelled corn for many farmers in Potter and Sully County and helped out his neighbors with various welding and mechanic projects. Albert was always willing to help others.
Albert enjoyed spending his free time playing cards, gardening, woodworking and attending tractor pulls. He gave all that he could to the United Methodist Church in Agar and the Agar Volunteer Fire Department, of which he was a charter member in 1953, and was there when they bought the first fire truck. He was also a member of the Antique Tractor Pullers, the Masonic Lodge in Pierre and the Yelduz Shrine Club.
Albert’s life will be treasured by his wife, Reada of Agar; his children: Rhonda Estelle (Roger McGruder) of Onida, Christine Schreiber of Pierre and Renee Schreiber of Ft. Pierre; nine grandchildren; eight great grandchildren; one brother, Dean (Kathy) Schreiber of Pierre; brothers-in-law: Rudy (Roxie) Jacobs of Tolstoy and Jerry (Lori) Jacobs of California; and one niece, Debra Brewer of California.
He was preceded in death by his parents; son, Robin; sister, Edna Schwennker; and nephew, Darren Schwenneker.
