1925 Biography - Albert Horuff

Albert Horuff has been a resident of Louisiana for fifteen years. He located at Monroe temporarily, but found the environment and opportunities such as to attract him, to permanent residence. He is one of the able business men, bankers and one of the most active public spirited citizens of that locality.

He is a native of Madison, Indiana, but he was reared and spent his early youth in Indianapolis. He acquired a good public school education and for several years was in business at Cincinnati. He came to Monroe in 1910. After a year spent on the special business missions that brought him, he decided to remain, having in the meantime recognized the great possibilities of Monroe and Northern Louisiana's future. His judgment in this respect has proved to be good, since Monroe and this section in the last few years have grown beyond all past conjecture. This is due in part to the opening up of a great natural gas field, with the resultant bringing in of many large industries, and the expansion of the city in all directions.

For several years Mr. Horuff had intimate business relations with the Central Savings Bank and Trust Company of Monroe, and on January 1, 1923, was made one of its officials, assigned to the duty as cashier. In January, 1924, he was made active vice president, and is giving his best talents and ability to the success and growth of this splendid institution.

Mr. Horuff in 1924 was honored by being elected president of the Monroe Rotary Club, a work in which he is greatly interested. He is vice president of the Monroe Chamber of Commerce, is a member of the board of directors of the Golf Club, and public matters in general enlist his hearty co-operation.

Mr. Horuff married Miss Mabel Dell of Indiana. They have one daughter, Marie Dell Horuff.
