Christian Halverson obituary

SharonTMSI — 2014-09-26 11:48:04Z

C. H. Halverson
(1857-1939)
Christian H. Halverson was born January 19, 1857, in Faaberg, Norway, the eldest son of five children of Hans and Matilda Swenson Halverson.
They came to America when he was nine years of age, landing at Prairie du chien on July 4, 1866 when whence they settled in French Creek near Gainesville, where the mother of this family died and was buried just a year after coming to America.
They next moved to Buffalo county, settling in the town of Dover, where he lived until the time of his marriage to Helen Knudson on March 29, 1880.
They lived the first year of their married life in Arcadia where Mr. Halverson was employed by the Masseur Mercantile Store.
In 1881 they moved to Mondovi where they have resided since and where Mr. Halverson was engaged in the Mercantile field almost continually, his last employment being with the Schaettle Brothers from the time of their opening in Mondovi until the death of Frank Schaettle, the elder member of the firm.
To Mr. and Mrs. Halverson were born nine children: Henry, of Bismarck, North Dakota; Norman; Matilda Grorud of Mondovi; Clara Conger of Prairie du Sac; Mary Sholts of Los Angeles, California; Hartwell of Mondovi; Luella Northfoss of Minneapolis; Estelle Rockwell of Mondovi and Edith Reese of Cincinnati.
Christian Halverson had been in failing health for the past three years. On Monday morning April 3 he suffered a stroke from which he did not rally and passed peacefully away at 8:30 on Friday evening April 7.
He is survived by his wife and nine children, seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
The funeral was held from the home of __________ with the Rev. Aune of Osseo officiating, followed at two o’clock by a service in the Norwegian Lutheran church, in which Rev. Norson and Rev. Aune took part, and in which each minister paid personal tribute to the deceased. Rev. Aune is the minister at the Evanger church at Lookout, where in their younger days both Mr. and Mrs. Halverson were ardent workers, having been members of the choir, confirmed and married there, and where all their children were baptized.
There was a profusion of beautiful flowers and the Ladies Aid of both churches gave mindekrans in memory of Mr. Halverson. Mrs. Martha Peck of Durand, for many years a friend of the Halverson family, beautifully rendered two appropriate solos, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Karel Somol.
The relatives from away besides the immediate family, who attended the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Stollbohm, Bert Knudson, Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Bones, Mrs. Clarence Knudson and son Clarence, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Knudson, son Kenneth and daughter Vivian, all of Eau Claire; Mrs. Martha Linder and daughter Miss Ruth Pearson of Durand; Mr. and Mrs. Julius Nelson and son Walter, of North Branch; Mrs. J. P. Sommerin and Miss Wealthy Knudson, of Osseo; Miss Eleanor Lee, of Whitewater; Mrs. Francis Pfeiffer, of Winona, Minnesota; Mrs. Lena Vold, of Eleva, and Mr. and Mrs. Ingvald Lee, of Cornell. Of the immediate family, those from away who attended the funeral where, Henry Halverson of Bismarck, North Dakota; Mrs. Clara Conger, of Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin; Mr. and Mrs. G. V. Northfoss, of Minneapolis; Mrs. R. A. Reese of Cincinnati, Ohio; Palmer Grorud, of Madison. Interment was made in Oak Park cemetery.

Obituary clipping in possession of Chris Grorud. Newspaper and date unknown. Died April 7, 1939 in Mondovi, Buffalo Co., Wisconsin. I would love to find anyone related to this family.

Re: George (Jorgen) and Anna Halvorson

thoraway — 2014-08-23 16:51:59Z

Where in Norway is that 1823 Norwegian baptism record from?

If his son was born in MN in 1863 we won't be able to find "Hergius Halvorson" in 1865 Norwegian census database.

Is this the right family in the 1885 MN state census?

Re: George (Jorgen) and Anna Halvorson

When George (Jorgen) born? born in what country? if immigrated to the US? if yes, when?

Harris and Herjus are not given names found in Norway so more information is required to try to help.

Dorothy Halverson obituary, daughter of Norman and Emma

mjmiddendorf — 2012-03-16 04:11:32Z

I am transcribing obituaries from our local newspaper archives (Scotia, Nebraska):

The Scotia Register
Volume XXXII, Thursday, December 16, 1926, pg. 1, column 3
DOROTHY HALVERSON DIES IN WISCONSIN
Word reached Scotia Tuesday of the death of Dorothy Faye Halverson, at Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Dorothy is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. C. Halverson, of Scotia, and at the time of her death was living at the Martin home in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Dorothy was born March 2, 1908, in Racine, Wisconsin, and passed away on December 14, 1926.
The deceased had many friends in Scotia who are saddened to hear of her death, and who will extend their tenderest sympathy to her family in this, their time of sorrow.

Halverson family in Philadelphia, 1790-1822

ppatick — 2012-05-14 16:16:20Z

We've reached the Brick Wall! Anna Rosetta Halverson French, our 3rd great grandmother (1794-1828) was born in Philadelphia. Her parents are more elusive. We know her mother was Hanna Cotter a widow when she married a James or Frederick Halverson, a mariner ~1790 in Philadelphia. We know she was a high end dressmaker by a business directory listing. Mr. Halverson is not alive in 1810, she is listed with her daughters in the census as a widow. We have no birth surname or even country for her. (possibly Ireland or Scotland) Her first husband, Edmund Cotter, died in 1785, after 2 years married. If anyone has a connection or more information, we would love to share!

My great-grandmother's maiden name was Beulah Burr Stelle (married George Leonard Baldwin in Washington, D.C. 1928), daughter of Thomas Stelle. I do not know who Thomas married or any information beyond my great-grandmother including siblings. I have tons of pictures dating back to the early 1900s that I think are all "Stelle" related photos. I would love to share these photos and letters that I have if I can put these names to the proper spots so that I know there is a direct relation. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you :)

She was engaged to Ed Halverson or Ed Halvorson,and had me.
She broke up with Ed, she ended up with Gordon Linderholm.
So I would have a father. I was Five years old when my real father talked to me. At five years old you can't equate that, so I told him my father was at work not realizing how important that short conversation was to him and me. I am now 62 years old. I am a father and grandfather. I wish I could at least learn something about my real father, he should be about 87 or 88 now. Any response would be appreciated.

Vernal Halverson, Portland, OR and North Dakota

sherrylucky — 2010-06-08 18:28:15Z

In the July, 2010 issue of "County" magazine, the following appeared on page 22 on "Are you stumped?"

"I hope someone can help me locate the family of Vernal Halverson, who used to live in Portland, Oregon. I have a book, Pioneers & Progress: Burke County & White Earth Valley Historial Society 1971 (North Dakota), which contains his family history. Mary York, P. O. Box 266, Woodland, WA 98674"

A quick search of his name finds a Vernal a. Halverson b. abt 1920 d. 21 Mar 1976 SSDI issued North Dakota. Appears in 1930 census of Roseland, Burke Co., ND with father Gilbert age 39 born Minnestota parents born Sweden with wife, Cora age 37 born Minnesota parents born Norway. Siblings were Darvin H. 12 b. ND, and Twilene or Lurline age 8.

Phone records aslo show a Vernal Halverson in Fargo, ND.

Just passing the information along as the book referred to may be something someone would be interested in seeing.

Grandpa, the wild child, was very cryptic about that time of his life....did you know that he dissapeared for a year...no one, not even his mother knew where he was....mom told me that.....I'm still learning new things about him....
