Albert W. Huberty, age 86, passed away on July 8, 2005 at the Cornell Area Care Center, Cornell, WI.

Albert "Al" W. Huberty was born on March 22, 1919 in the Township of Worden to William Huberty and Susan (Clerf) Huberty. He was raised in Worden and farmed there until 1946 when he moved to Stanley and worked at Heagles Woodworkers until 1949. He was united in marriage to Edith Strovers in September 1945 and later married Jessie Hubert in June 1981. From 1949 until his retirement in 1988, Al owned and operated several businesses in Stanley and Thorp. After retirement, Al spent several winters in Texas where he enjoyed growing roses and tomatoes. Al resided at Victory Memorial Nursing Home from 1999-2002 and then moved to the Cornell Area Nursing Home and remained there until his death on July 8, 2005.
