ALBERT H. HIRSIG.
Albert H. Hirsig, conducting a general brokerage business at Sheridan, was formerly concentrating his energies and efforts upon the wholesale grocery trade as a broker, while at the present time he is largely handling oil stock. He was born in Monroe, Wisconsin, on the 1st of January, 1884, and is a son of William and Elizabeth (Grimm) Hirsig, both of whom were natives of Switzerland. They came to America in 1876 and established their home in Wisconsin. The death of the father occurred in that state but the mother is still living. In their family were ten children, nine of whom survive.
Albert H. Hirsig was reared and educated in Wisconsin and in 1900 arrived in Wyoming, where he engaged in ranching in connection with his brother. He devoted some years to that business and then took up his abode in Sheridan, where he conducted a moving picture theatre, carrying on his activities along that line for a year. On the expiration of that period he turned his attention to the brokerage and jobbing business and for six years was connected with the sale of groceries and then turned his attention to the oil brokerage business and is now handling oil stock. His interests of this character are of growing importance and he is meeting with well merited success.
In 1967 Mr. Hirsig was united in marriage to Miss Helen Sperry, who was born at Yankton, South Dakota, and they have become parents of a daughter, Alberta Helen, whose birth occurred November 14, 1912. Mrs. Hirsig is a member of the Episcopal church.
Mr. Hirsig is identified with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and is serving as exalted ruler of the lodge. He is highly esteemed wherever known and has a circle of warm friends in Sheridan, who speak of him in terms of kindly regard and who recognize him as one of the enterprising and progressive business men of the locality.
