Albert V. Eichelberger

[edit]

Albert V. Eichelberger and his brothers operated a coal supply company at 930 Main Street in Boise in the early 1890s,[4] and by 1893 the Eichelbergers had sold the business to Smith & Stover.[5] In 1892 Eichelberger purchased 80 acres (32 ha) of land near Boise where he planted prune trees.[6][7] In 1910 he became manager of the Boise Valley Fruit Growers' Association.[8]

Eichelberger served in the Idaho legislature 1903-1904[9] and on the Boise City Council from 1912 until he was recalled in 1916. He supported expansion of city park land and prohibition of alcohol and dancing.[10]
