The following obituary was read during the service:

Orville William Halsted was born on March 23, 1910, two miles north of Strawberry Point, at the country home of his parents, Martha and Will Halsted. An organic heart trouble caused his sudden and instant death at one o'clock in the afternoon, September 30, 1940.

As a boy, Orvilee attended the country school. He was baptized and became a member of the Congregational Church. Later he was for a time a student in the public school of Strawberry Point. The last five years of his life were spent in Chicago, Illinois. On September 28, 1936, he was joined in holy matrimony to Mabel Karteus.

During the last two years he was an employee of the Dryden Rubber Company of Chicago. Through this work he became a member of the United Rubber Workers of America. It was while he was on his way to work, and while waiting for an elevated train at the station on Randolph and Wells Streets that he was suddenly stricken with the heart attack which caused immediate death. The passing of this stalwart and rugged young man was a great shock to the members of his family, his wife, and his many friends, both in his home community and Chicago.

Those of the immediate family left to mourn his departure from this world are his wife, Mabel of Chicago; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Will Halsted of Strawberry Point; one older brother, Romayne, his wife and two sons and two daughters, all of McCallsburg.
