Halder, Albert H. (15 May 1870 - 19??)

ALBERT H. HALDER, who conducts a plumbing business at Wausau, Wis., with quarters at No. 303 Washington Street, has been in the same line of business here for the past fifteen years and sustains the reputation for excellent work and honest prices that has been so long associated with the name. He has been a resident of this city for thirty years but his birth took place in the city of Pittsburgh, Pa., May 15, 1870, and is a son of Charles H. and Minnie (Schure) Haider. The mother died when he was seven years old and the father passed away in April, 1912.  

Albert H. Haider was one year old when his parents moved to Two Rivers, Manitowoc County. Wis., where the father followed the shoemaking trade for eleven years and then the family moved to Wausau. In this city Albert H. completed his school attendance and then learned the plumbing trade and later was associated with his brother, George H. Haider, in the plumbing business under the firm name of Haider Bros. The latter retired from the firm in 1906 in order to give all his attention to the office of undersheriff of Marathon County, and since then Albert H. Haider has been sole proprietor. He is vice president of the Wausau Master Plumbers' Association.  

In 1892 Mr. Haider was married to Miss Bertha Waitman, a daughter of Frank Waitman, of Wausau, and they have two sons, Thomas and Albert. Mr. Haider is one of the directors of the Wausau Building, Loan and Investment Association. He is well known and valued in several leading fraternal organizations, including the Masons, the Knights of Pythias and the E. F. U., and generally, is a citizen who enjoys the respect and confidence of those with whom he is associated.
