Beulah Maxine (Whicker) Albers
-
She was born to Beulah and Benjamin Whicker. The 1925 Iowa State Census shows her living in Wolf Creek at the age of one. The Iowa Census reports that she was born in Iowa, while the 1930 US Census says that she was born in Missouri. In 1930, the Census shows her living in the Moffat County, Colorado town of Maybell, when she was eight years old. There, she grew up knowing Theodore E. Albers, whom she married in North Carolina in 1943.
She was the first woman to serve as a Mesa County Commissioner, and did so from 1974-1988. She also belonged to the Women’s Foundation of the Colorado Advisory Council and the Mesa County Republican Women. She and her husband Theodore were honored by then U.S. Representative Scott McInnis for their contributions to Mesa County in a speech given to the U.S. House of Representatives on June 7, 2000.
