The funeral of Henry Halverson was held from the Gunder church Tuesday afternoon and marked the laying to rest of a man who was born at Gunder, November 12, 1867, and passed away in a hospital in St. Paul, May 4, 1918. He had gone to the hospital for treatment and while there death came to him.
Henry Halverson left home for the west when about 15 years old, and he was a success as a businessman. For a number of years he was engaged in railroading in the Western states and Old Mexico. In 1899 he went to Cut Bank, Montana, and entered the mercantile business, but after a few years retired from this line of endeavor and erected a $40,000 hotel in that place, where he has ever since catered to the public. He was prosperous and well-liked and was noted for square dealing. After his death the remains were brought to the old home for interment. His parents are dead and he now rests beside them in the Gunder Cemetery.
He is survived by his wife and son, Ward, one full brother, Albert of Cut Bank, Montana, and three half-brothers and four half-sisters; Albert Halverson of Cut Bank, Montana; E. J. Halverson of Forest Lake, Minnesota; Martin Halverson of Cut Bank, Montana; Mrs. Fred Muelenthaler and Mrs. Perry Larson of St. Paul; Mrs. William Yunck of Cut Bank and Miss Lena Halverson of Boston, Massachusetts.

The Funeral of Henry Halverson was held from the Gunder church Tuesday afternoon of last week. He had passed away at a hospital in St. Paul, where he had gone for treatment. Henry Halverson was born at Gunder and when a young man went west. He was a conductor on a passenger train for a number of years, then entered business life at Cut Back, Montana, and was successful. Diabetes had been making inroads on his health for a number of years and finally the summons came and his body was laid to rest near the home where he was born.
Henry Halverson was known to many of our people and his death is deeply deplored. He is survived by a wife and child, brothers and sisters and a host of friends both here and in the west, where for many years he made his home.- Elgin Echo.
