Among the jobs John Albert had was a stockman (ranching), well driller, and Highway foreman for the US Forest Service. His family ran the "water works" in Reserve.
He spoke Spanish fluently from having been raised close to the Mexican border in Texas.
He raised 4 children: 3 girls and 1 boy. He was 19 years older than his wife: Beulah Kemp. They met at Beaver Creek, New Mexico, on Ben Kemp's homestead.
He was known as a "crack shot". He used his pistol as a tool as well. He'd use it as a hammer!
He was doing some plumbing work on the Catholic church in Aragon, New Mexico, when he took ill. He died on the operating table from a ruptured ulcer.
