A. W. Norblad
Albin Walter Norblad, Sr., (March 19, 1881 – April 17, 1960) was a prominent citizen of Astoria, Oregon, United States, and the 19th Governor of Oregon from 1929 to 1931.〔''Oregon Governor Albin Walter Norblad'' (National Governors Association)()〕
He was the father of A. Walter Norblad, member of the United States House of Representatives from Oregon's 1st Congressional District from 1946 to 1964.
==Family and early life==
Norblad was born in Malmö, Sweden in 1881 to parents Peter and Bessie Youngsberg. The family's last name was changed by the Swedish Government to avoid confusion in military records. The family emigrated to the United States while Albin was very young, settling in Grand Rapids, Michigan. At age 12, Albin decided to support himself, mostly by means of odd jobs. He would later recount that the most notable jobs held during this time were newsboy, hot dog vendor, and clairinetist for the circus.
He managed to earn enough money to return to Grand Rapids, taking night classes at the Grand Rapids Business College. After earning enough credits there, Norblad was able enroll at the University of Chicago Law School, supporting himself as a reporter for the ''Chicago American'' newspaper's crime beat. Graduating in 1902, he quickly passed the bar exam and moved back to Michigan. Once in Michigan, he set up a law firm, and was elected District Attorney for Delta County.〔(''History of Oregon'' (Vol. 3. Charles Henry Carey, author. Chicago-Portland: Pioneer Historical Pub. Co., 1922. p. 567.) )〕
