Mr. Hovelson was brought up a Lutheran, but in 1910 he and his wife joined the Congregational church, then under the pastorate of the Rev. Allen.

He was for many years a manger of the cement company, was a member of the board of supervisors at one time, and also of the city council. He was a director of the Mitchell County Savings bank for many years, and upon his resignation was urged to remain as an honorary director, but which office he refused.
Mr. and Mrs. Hovelson celebrated their golden wedding anniversary just about a year ago.
