Albert Lanville Magner

Albert Magner moved to the MAGNER Homestead when he was about two years old.  After marrying Jennie GAGER, he purchased the 160 acre farm from his father, Samuel in July 1926.  Albert farmed all his life and after his children had grown and were raising their own families, he drove a school bus for 19 years for the Galesburg School District. 

In 1968, Albert suffered a stroke spending a short time in the hospital.  The following year, 1969 Albert and Jennie made their last fishing trip to Colorado in their pick-up camper.  They watched the July 20, 1969 first landing on the moon from a hotel that summer.  Albert had surgery in 1971 for a bleeding ulcer.  The stitches were removed after one week.  The wound somehow split open so they taped the incision shut, but Albert went into shock and had a mini-stroke.  He told his wife, Jennie it was his time to go and he passed a few weeks later on September 23, 1971 at a Parsons (Kansas) hospital.

                       LIFE
Life can be measured only in time.
We use not the rule to measure the first two score.
It comes and goes like the dawn til dusk.
Some are blessed with life for long,
Others short we know not Why.
The answer we will know
When life is over here on earth.
