Madlon, Albert John (21 FEB 1934 - 4 JUN 2007)

Albert John Madlon, 73, Sheldon, died June 4, 2007, at home in Jump River, Taylor County.

He was born on Feb. 21, 1934, at home in Jump River, the son of Victor and Theresa (Lechleitner) Madlon. He and Rose Alice Lorence were married on Nov. 20, 1954, at Conrath.

He was a Catholic. He farmed most of his life. He spent a short time in Lansing, Mich., working for Oldsmobile. When he moved back to Wisconsin, he drove truck for Olynicks and Dernovseks. In 1957, he moved back onto the home farm where he lived until the present. His greatest joy was his family. He enjoyed spending time with them and spoke frequently about when he was a young man. He was never quick to judge anyone and had many friends and was considered a good neighbor. He was never afraid to lend a helping hand. He respected and expected honesty from everyone around him. His presence, sense of humor and generosity will be sadly missed.
