Biography

Son of Peter S. Wisner and Margaret Hayne or Haner.

Husband of Lilly May Wishard.

Father of Lauretta Dean Wisner.

His father was a carpenter. The family moved to Kent, Michigan before Albert was age six. His mother died in 1856. His father kept the family together until Albert was age ten, and then the children dispersed. Albert, however, remained on the home place until he was age 24.

"He had purchased a portion of his father's farm and in 1876 sold that and came to Douglas county, Oregon. The next year, we see him in Lewiston and there he enlisted with General Howard to fight the Indians. Then he was hired by the government to aid in the construction of roads. Next, he logged on the Clearwater and in the fall of 1879, he took a claim south of Tammany hollow. Later, he sold that property and bought the farm where he now lives. His place is embellished with a fine, modern, eight-room house with plenty of closet and pantry room and exceptionally well arranged for comfort and convenience. He also has a fine, large, red barn and out buildings. Mr. Wisner deals in cattle a great deal, being an excellent judge of stock."

"In April, 1882, Mr. Wisner married Miss Lillie, daughter of W. H. and Ora (Kirk) Wishard, natives of Indiana. The father was a wheelwright and died in 1894 and the mother died in 1872. Mrs. Wisner was born on September 9, 1861. Mr. Wisner has the following-named brothers and sisters: Rebecca Ogden, Matilda Vanorton, Byron D., Louisa Frazee and John S., Adelia Sessions, Gustavus, Ruth Warner, Frederick. Mr. and Mrs. Wisner have one adopted child, Lauretta. In political matters, Mr. Wisner is a stanch Republican and votes the ticket straight; he often attends county conventions as delegate. He was elected county commissioner on his ticket in 1894 and with great credit to himself and advantage to the county he served his term and was renominated, but the entire party was snowed under. Mr. Wisner had three brothers, Byron, John and Gustavus, who fought for their country in the time of the dark rebellion. One entered the rank's when but fourteen years of age. Mr. Wisner is a strong advocate of good schools, has always worked for their betterment and is to be credited with much good accomplished in this line."
