Francelia Mathilda Iverson was born May 30, 1912, in Baker, MN, to Oscar 

and Clara (Butenhoff) Iverson. She grew up in Baker, attending school and 

graduating from Barnesville High School in 1929. In 1933, she graduated 

from Concordia College with her teaching certificate. The years following 

she taught English in LaMoure, ND, New Mexico and Maryland until 

returning to Baker. She helped her parents run the Iverson General Store 

until 1957 when she became Postmaster at the Baker Post Office. She 

worked in the Post Office until retiring around 1984. From 1986 to 1990, 

Francelia was a community volunteer at Eventide, Heritage Hjemkomst 

Center and for the Billy Graham Crusade. She resided at Moorhead Health 

Care Center for a year until moving to the Good Samaritan Center in 

Barnesville, where she remained until her death.



Fran was a lifetime member of Our Savior's Lutheran Church in 

Barnesville. She was also a member of the National Association of 

Postmasters of the United States (NAPTUS). She would write various news 

articles for the Concordia Alumni Association. One of Fran's most 

distinguished accomplishments was being named Clay County's Outstanding 

Citizen of the Year.



Fran loved children and music, and faithfully attended programs and 

concerts in support of both. She was a wealth of memories and history, as 

she knew people of all walks of life. For all who knew and loved her, we 

say "Thank you, Fran, for the memories!"
