Samel Halvorson OBITUARY
SAMUEL HALVERSON IS TAKEN BY DEATH

Was Engaged Commercial Fishing for Many Years
Samuel Halverson, 77, veteran fisherman of this community, died last Wednesday
evening. He had suffered a stroke on Monday evening, but had been active until
then.
Born in Holmstron, Norway, April 10, 1865, he came to this country at the age of
eighteen. He made his home in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and sailed the Great Lakes
from that port for many years.
In 1888 he married Mary Hansen, and they came to Charlevoix in 1902. In 1908 Mr.
Halverson went to Portland, Maine, to introduce gill-net fishing on the Atlantic
coast. He returned later to Charlevoix, and in 1910 took his family to
Gloucester, Mass., where they remained until 1913. Mrs. Halverson died here
December 4, 1934.
Mr. Halverson was a commercial fisherman for 35 years, retiring only a few years
ago.
Surviving are two sons, Sander, of Charlevoix, and Martin, of Flint; seven
daughters, Mrs. Sadie Bartlett, of Charlevoix, Mrs. Lydia (Orvis, of Ironton,
Mrs. Alma Fairweather, of Gloucester, Mass., Mrs. Irene DeCastro and Mrs. Vera
Buddy, of Milwaukee, Wis., Mrs. Geraldine Gillette, of Grandville, and Mrs.
Helen Belding, of Lansing; also twenty-six grandchildren and fourteen great-
grand-children.

Funeral services were held at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the See Funeral
Home, Rev. W. L. Cruthers officiating. Interment was at Brookside cemetery.
Now that Sam Halverson is gone, who's going to start the perch fishing on Round
lake so that other anglers will know when?
