The family has used three spellings of its last name over time. Tosten, the family patriarch used the spelling of Halvorson or Halvorsen. This variation would have been caused by the Danish control of Norway at the time Tosten left Norway. The Norwegian version would have been Halvorson and the Danish version would have Halvorsen. Tosten's son Andrew used the spelling of Halvorson on his grave stones, but he used the spelling of Halverson in his daily life. This dual spelling of the families last name, one way on their grave stones and another way in their daily life continued into the 1940 and has created problems with listing memorials for the family on Find A Grave.
Coming from a distance for the funeral of Gene Halverson were Capt. and Mrs. Gorman Kullander, Houston, Texas. Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Hestenes and family, Bozeman, Mont., and Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Apple, St. Louis. Mo.
