Albert N. Carlblom (December 17, 1865 – June 15, 1920) was a North Dakota (United States) public servant and politician with the Republican Party who served as the North Dakota State Auditor from 1899 to 1902.[1] [2]

Biography

[edit]

Albert Carlblom was born in Cokato, Minnesota on December 17, 1865.[2][3] He was the son of John G. and Elizabeth Anderson Carlblom, both natives of Sweden.

He graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College in 1886.[4] He moved to North Dakota in 1891.[3] Following several years of teaching and terms of public office in Sargent County, North Dakota, he married Josephine Peterson in 1898. [5]

A year later he became North Dakota State Auditor. After serving two terms as State Auditor, he did not seek re-election to the office in 1902. Instead he chose to return to the prairie and operate the first building constructed in Gwinner, North Dakota.[6] He also joined others in the organizing of the Gwinner State Bank and served as its president.

On June 15, 1920, he died at a hospital in Breckenridge from injuries incurred from a cyclone.[6] He had three children: Vera Lenore Carlblom, Edna Carlblom Howell, and Albert Carlblom.[5]
