Albert Gustav Qualheim was the second of the six children of Louis and Carrie. He was born on August 31, 1900 in Stanley, Wisconsin and grew up on the family farm. There were six children; Lillian, Albert, Inga, Imbert, Gena and John (Find A Grave Memorial# 50436332).
Albert married Ruth Lucille Edwardson on December 28, 1922 and farmed near the town of Worden until moving to the Sheldon area in 1935. According to his daughter, Betty Lou Qualheim, Albert was an electrician by trade and had wired most of the farms around Jump River during the 1930s. He was a skilled mechanic who had the reputation of being able to do about anything with machinery. After the Depression ended and the WPA closed down, he acquired some heavy equipment from the government and did land clearing for other farmers in the area. Sometimes his dairy farm was secondary to his work away from the farm.
Albert was 23 years old when Betty was born in October, 1923, and her mother, Ruth, just turned 21. At the time, Ruth was a school teacher and Albert had worked for some time in a lumber mill. Ruth quit teaching to raise her family. In the 1930 Census they are living on a farm in Clark County (Worden Township), Wisconsin with Betty (6), Bobbie (4) and Richard (1).
In 1935, Albert Qualheim moved his family to a farm located between Jump River and Sheldon, (McKinley Township, Taylor County) Wisconsin. The land was mostly second growth forest at the time and the fields had thousands of stones left by the glaciers that once covered the land. These stones were piled in the corners of the fields and were put to use in building the basement (cellar) of the original house and walls of the dairy barn. The property had been settled once before and the remains of the old house and barn were located on the far west side of the property. There was a spring fed creek that divided the farm and one side of the property ran along Jump River.
The 1940 Census of Wisconsin shows the family with their first 5 children: Betty (16), Robert (14), Richard (11), Gerald (7) and Beverly(5).
