Albert Haller was born in Clallam County in 1903 and worked in the logging industry during the era of horses and steam donkeys.
He was known as a competent, careful logger who out-conserved the conservation policies of that era.
He and his wife saved their money and made wise investments, and left an ongoing legacy to the people of Clallam County.
