In 1914 Albano and Gini moved into town (Marble Falls) so their children could attend school without worrying about crossing the river when it froze over in the winter time. Albano was also a county commissioner at the time and as such had obligations in town. The family lived in this house at that time Albano served as county commissioner. A State Historical Marker which mentions Albano Fuchs stands in the front yard of the house today. Vernon was born in this house.
After living back in the house on the Colorado River for several more years, Albano moved the family to the farm near Abernathy in 1918. He and Gini pose with son Rudolph in front of the Abernathy house on the day Rudi was leaving for college in 1923.
In 1926 Albano desired to go back to ranching, and he moved the family to a large ranch near Tatum in eastern New Mexico. They engaged in sheep ranching there for twenty years. Pictured above are the ranch house, and Albano and Gini in 1945 standing on the porch of son Roland's house nearby.
In 1945, with all of their sons grown and away, Albano and Gini followed George and Mildred to the mountain country in Lincoln County and moved to a small farm near present-day Ruidoso Downs.
After the war, son Marion built a house in lower Ruidoso, and in 1950 they moved into this house, where they lived until 1957.
