Albert was a junior, son of Albert Galatin senior and his wife Annie E. Campbell. He married Lois Senora Garrison on Jun. 20, 1911 in Pawhuska, Osage Co., OK. She was born in North Carolina on Mar. 2, 1891. Albert, Jr. was born on Jan. 7, 1884 in Lincoln Co., KY. He died in Fergus Co., MT on Jun. 20, 1967 and was buried at the Winnett City cemetery in Petroleum Co. Lois died much earlier, on Nov. 1, 1929 shortly after giving birth to her eighth child in 15 years. She was also buried at the Winnett cemetery.
The family left Oklahoma sometime before Sep. 12, 1918 and lived for awhile in Port Orchard, Kitsap Co., WA where Albert worked as a riveter at the navy yard. It was on that date that Albert registered for the draft. He and Lois lived at 1513 Elizabeth St. in Bremerton. Albert was described on the draft registration as being tall and slender with brown eyes and black hair. He was 34 years old at the time.
When 1920 arrived the family was still in Kitsap and Albert still worked in the navy yard. Soon however, the family left for Montana and settled in Petroleum Co. By 1930 Albert was a widower farmer, raising eight children by himself. He apparently never remarried.
