Bertha Nesheim was born April 6, 1892, to parents Sakarias and Martha Nesheim, at Nesheim, pr. Stavanger, Norway, and died at her home on East First Street South, Eagle Grove, Iowa, Jan. 17, 1943, at the age of 50 years, 9 months, and 11 days. She was baptized unto Christ, received Christian instruction, and confessed her Christian faith in her youth.

In 1912, she came to America, and on the 27th of February 1915, she was united in marriage to Johannes Halverson at Sioux City, Ia. In 1916, Mr. and Mrs. Halverson came to Eagle Grove, which has since been their home, and where Mr. Halverson was employed by the C. & N. W. railroad. Mr. Halverson died April 8, 1941. Mrs. Halverson is now survived by her five children, Harold, Selmer, Clarence, Jean and Ardith. She is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Severena Odson, Assinibola, Canada, and by one sister, Brondia, and by two brothers, Lars and Sakarias Nesheim, all still in Norway.

Mrs. Halverson had a share of sickness and trials in her life, both her husband and she contended with ill health for a number of years. Through it all, though she tried to be patient, she was a kind wife and mother, and tried to find comfort and guidance in the word of God. This held her up during the years of sickness. She was a member of the Eagle Grove Evangelical Lutheran church.
