Albert N. Badger was proud of his family history. Albert N. Badger, 86, a descendant of an American Revolutionary family and a California '49er, died Monday at Gravenstein Convalescent Hospital. Mr. Badger, born in Santa Rosa, Sept. 26, 1883, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Badger who were ranchers in Rincon Valley. Badger road in Santa Rosa was named for his family. When he was 25 years old Mr. Badger began ranching in Green Valley. Here he was to raise apples, prunes, and cherries until the ranch was sold a few years ago. He and his wife, the late Anice Badger to whom he was married more than 60 years at her death in October 1968, were active in the Farm Bureau and 4-H. He was also a past president of Native Sons of the Golden West, Sebastopol chapter. He was a member of this group for many years. Mr. Badger was very proud of his family background. According to family history, prior to the Revolutionary War four Badger brothers came to America from England. One brother was scalped by an Indian and two were scared back to England. The fourth, Joseph Badger, stayed in America. He had 11 sons, all of whom fought in the War of Independence. All came out of the war without a scratch. All Badgers are descended from these sons, which makes him related to all Badgers in the United States. By the 1850's there were Badgers in Sonoma county, among the first white people to settle here. Mr. Badger, who was the oldest of six children, is survived by Miles E. Badger, Windsor and Elsie Perkins, Santa Rosa. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Mrs. Wayne Rulufson, Healdsburg. A funeral service for Mr. Badger will be conducted tomorrow, Friday, 11 a.m. at the O'Leary Funeral Home. Rev. Ronald Cundall, Hessel Union Church, will officiate, Internment follows at Santa Rosa Memorial Park.
