Obituary Bismarck Tribune (April 06, 2010)
HANNOVER — Albert Bargmann, 99, Hannover, died April 2, 2010, at his home. Services will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, April 8, at St. Peter's Church, Hannover, with the Rev. Russell Fitch officiating. Burial will be in Hannover Cemetery.

Visitation will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at the church, where a prayer service will begin at 7 p.m. Visitation will continue one hour prior to the service on Thursday.

Albert was born Aug. 31, 1910, at the family homestead southwest of Hannover, the son of Henry Herman and Emma (Rabe) Bargmann. He lived his entire life on the ranch on which he was born. He attended a one-room school three miles from his home and needed to learn English when he entered first grade as only German was spoken in the home. He was a life-long member of St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Hannover.

As a lifelong rancher, he raised Hereford and Angus-cross cattle with his brother, Hilbert, and in later years, also with his nephews. The cattle they raise are known to be some of the best grass-fed beef in western North Dakota.

Albert married Lydia Hintz on Aug. 29, 1948. She died on Nov. 18, 1970. On Nov. 10, 1973, he married Enid Hendersheid Gullickson. Together, they enjoyed the farmstead, gardening, tending their fruit trees and caring for the animals.

Mr. Bargmann was active for many years in the Oliver County Old Settler's Day programs, often driving a team of horses in the parade and participating in the longest beard contests. He also participated in many plowing and threshing shows and was pictured with his team of horses and plow on a North Dakota Horizon calendar. He was an expert horseman and willingly shared his knowledge with his family, including the many nieces, nephews and step-grandchildren. In the community, he was known for his winter sleigh rides for family and neighbors.

From his ranch, Albert was able to observe the changes in western North Dakota. As a young boy, he and his father hauled grain in sacks by horse and wagon to New Salem. Farming in his lifetime progressed from that to enclosed tractor cabs with air-conditioning. He witnessed the building of five power plants nearby and the return of wind energy.

Albert is survived by his wife, Enid, Hannover; his sister, Caroline (Theodore) Letzring, Alta, Iowa; his brother, Hilbert, Hannover; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his first wife, Lydia; four sisters, Alma Bargmann, Eleanora Reiner, Louise Fleischer and Lorna Bargmann; and his brother, William Bargmann. (Buehler-Larson Funeral Home, Mandan)
