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 Chiene 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.
