These are  photos of the Halverson Family.

Johanna Halverson

Lewis H. Halverson

Sometime before 1920, the Halversons: Lewis, Johanna, Lillian and Ella moved to Gary Minnesota.  Gary is in Norman County.

More photos were taken, after all if your father is a photographer…

Lillian Halverson

 

Ella Halverson

On the folder is the Imprint surrounding an H  L.H. Halverson Gary Minn

In the 1920 Census the family is found in Norman County Minnesota with Lewis age 45, Johanna age 39,  Lillian age 14 and Ella age 10.

Jeannette Louise Halverson was born April 24 1920 in Norman County.  She married Roland Emmet Erickson (1920-2002) sometime before 1950.  They had one child James Brady Erickson  March 28 1950 – April 2 1950.  Jeannette died in Hennepin County April 10 1992. She is also buried at St Johns Cemetery Norman County along with her husband and son.

There is one photo of Jeannette.

Census Info:

In the 1930 Census they are all found in Minneapolis in Hennepin County.  Lewis is 55, Johanna is 49, Lillian is 24, Ella is 20 and Jeanette is 9.

In the 1940 Census they are found in Minneapolis in Hennepin County Johanna is 60, Lillian is 34, Ella is 30 and Jeannette is 20. 

 Lewis died  April 15 1930.

Johanna died June 30, 1967 

This whole family seems to be gone.  The strong tie to Norman County and St. Johns Cemetery seems to be Johanna’s parents Olof and Maria.

Thanks for stopping by.

Johanna and Lewis Halverson welcomed their first daughter.

Lillian Magnhild Halverson

July 13 1905

I can report that Lillian was born in Beltrami County July 13 1905 and she died September 8 1999 in Golden Valley Minnesota.   She married someone with the last name of Kjorlie.  She is buried in Norman County Minnesota.

This is the Photographers info that appears on several of the older photos.  The Pioneer Studio Blackduck, Minn.

The Minnesota Historical Society has no record of this Studio.  They do have a record of L.H. Halverson being in business in Blackduck Minnesota in 1914 and later in Gary, Minnesota in 1920.

I think that perhaps Lewis left Wisconsin for Northern Minnesota about 1900.   He probably travelled by Ox cart especially if he was carrying his photographic supplies.  I think he met Johanna during his travels.   They met sometime before 1905 and married.   Blackduck was organized as a village on December 29 1900, and in 1905 the train made it’s way to Blackduck which was a logging area.

Johanna and Lewis with Lillian about age three…about 1908. One gold seal says Halverson Blackduck Minn and the other says Special Portrait.

Ella Geneva Halverson joined the family on October 8, 1909 in Beltrami County she died December 28 1957 in Hennepin County Minnesota and is buried in Norman County.

One day I purchased a number of photos at an Antique Shop at Kabekona Corners…better known as Dave’s Place/ The Peddler.  He said he purchased them at a church rummage sale in Park Rapids Minnesota.

There are eighteen photos in this bunch….all related.

We will start with the oldest.

A very large two story house.

 

Halvorson? Halverson  Home in Mt. Horeb , W  1898

A photographer met a young lady by the name of Johanna who was born in Sweden..

The photographer Lewis Halverson born in Wisconsin..

Johanna and Lewis Halverson’s Wedding.

I know from a census record that Johanna came to the United States when she was three years old in 1884.  So she was born about 1881….April 12, 1880.  Lewis H. was born about 1874 in Wisconsin.

Halverson is sometimes spelled Halvorson in census records..

Johanna’s maiden name was Stephenson, her parents were Olof and Maria.

Lewis H. and Johanna had three daughters and we will see photos of them tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by.

Photo Number 1561

This is the last photo with a name from the album I purchased at Kabekona Corners Antique Shop.
This one is also a CdV.

Karen Langemo or Langems? or Langeme ?

The photographer is Burnham’s of Fairbault Minn.  He was in business at Main and the Northwest Corner of Second Street from 1869- 1870, 1886 to 1888.  Then again at an address that is just Fairbault in 1878,1884 and 1895.
Because this card has rounded corners and  she is wearing a dress with buttons and something lace I will guess this is from either 1878 or 1884. 
Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again.
I will go on to other photos now and let this album rest a bit and see if anyone contacts me since there are a few names out there.

Update from Iggy:
Karen 'Kari' Thygesdatter Haaby (nee Langemo) (1861 - 1951) was the daughter of Thyge Nilsen and Kari Thorbjørnsdatter Langemo.

This is a CdV from Kabekona Corners.

Mrs L. Huseth  Ole Huseth Mother

The photographer is P.A. Gausemel of Kenyon Minnesota. The Minnesota Historical Society has him located in Kenyon in 1909 and 1910.  I think this photo is much older than that and I would place it in the late 1880’s or early 1890’s.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again.

Emelia Huseth December 20 1872 to August 25, 1967 She married Lauritz (Lars) Huseth

These are two  Real Photo Postcards from Kabekona Corners.

I think these were probably taken the same day.  Possibly the same family.

Both of these postcards are marked on the back with one name or phrase?  Isn’t their hair wonderful!!

Til Besta  I did a search Google Translate says it is Danish and it means “to pass.”

The postcards are AZO’s with triangles pointing up and they were used from 1904 to 1918.  Gastler was the photographer in New Ulm Minnesota.  The Minnesota Historical Site has him in New Ulm in 1911 and 1912.

Another photo postcard in the album I purchased recently at Kabekona Corners Antique Shop.

What a cutie.

Stella Quam Holte 

The postcard is an Azo with triangles pointing up so it is most likely from 1904 to 1918.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again.

Update from Iggy:

Stella Quam (1914/16 in Cherry Grove, Goodhue, Minnesota) was the daughter of Henry C (he is in Photo Number 1556) and Martha Quam.

In 1930, she was living with her aunt and uncle Charles and Christine Steberg in Wanamingo, Goodhue, Minnesota with her sisters Hazel and Sybil. I do not know where Henry went, nor who Stella married.

From Susanna:
Stella Irene Quam *5Oct 1913 in Minnesota +3Mar 1982 in Goodhue County, Minnesota; burried at the Burnside-Salem Cemetery, Burnside Township, Goodhue County, Minnesota

Mother of Stella Irene Quam Holthe: Martha Wallaker Quam (1894-1922)
Father : Henry Christopher Quam (1890-1957)
Sister or halfsister : Hazel Margaret Quam Thoreson (1918-2008) ----in her obituary it is said that she was preceded by a sister, a brother, two half brothers and a half sister.


Stella and Orvin had at least two children:
Roland and Robert.

This Cyko Postcard was used from 1904 to 1920.

Perhaps you have a suggestion for a name?

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again.

There is a Norris Charlson, born about 1909 in Minnesota, found in North Dakota in census records between 1910 and 1940 at Ancestry.

Photo Number 1556

I purchased a large album of old photos from the antique shop at Kabekona Corner near Laporte MN.  We are regulars at that shop, the owner Dave saved this album for me.

The album has seen better days.  But it held 50 photos.  Only seven of those were marked with names.

This is a postcard of nine men.  It is an Azo Postcard with triangles pointing up in the stamp box,  they were used from 1904 to 1918

Kjos, Clarence Quam, Kjos, Gilbert Grove, Louis Grove, ____, Bert Ness, Jens Quam, Henry Quam.
I wonder if they are all salesmen?  Or classmates?  The postcard seems to have been sent to someone in Kenyon Minn but the name has been erased.  Kenyon is in Goodhue County.  The photographer was Austinson’s of Owatonna & Kenyon.
Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again.
Update from Iggy:
Louis Andreas Grove (Dec. 27, 1888 - Jan. 16, 1973 in Goodhue County, Minnesota) was the son of Peder T. Grove (1849 - 1913) and Maria P. Overboe Grove (1858 - 1914). His wife was Gurena Fenne Grove (1892 - 1956). His brother was Gilbert Christian Grove (1891 - 1951) 
Both brothers are buried in Dale Lutheran Church Cemetery, Wanamingo, Goodhue County, Minnesota.

Clarence J. Quam ((1894 - 1947) is buried in the same cemetery as is Henry Christopher Quam (1890 - 1957).
