DAUGHTER OF JACOB HALVORSEN A daughter of Jacob Halverson(sic) died from swallowing a cent. Manitowoc Herald, 04 Oct 1860 ******* Items from the Pilot Files - Fifty Years Ago - (1860) MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. With much regret, we state that an interesting little girl, daughter of Mr. Jacob Halverson (sic), died last week in consequence of having swallowed a new cent. She was buried on Sunday. Manitowoc Pilot, October 6, 1910 ******* [Burial register has buried the child of Mr. Halverson. Jacob Halverson purchased E2-34-1 on 12/9/1857, but I don’t show any burials on that lot. Then, he purchased E2-34-4 on 3/12/1866. I’m guessing there were probably a few burials on E2-34-1 or he anticipated wanting to leave room for his grown children to be buried, otherwise, I don’t see the need to buy a 2nd lot. I’m going to put her on E2-34-1. Actual bur. records start in 1860] ********* [Baby Halversen/bur. 09-30-1860]

LESLIE K. HALVORSEN Leslie K. Halvorsen, age 74, a Manitowoc resident, died on Wednesday evening Feb. 9, 2011, at Appleton Medical Center, Appleton.

She was a graduate of Washington High School, Two Rivers, class of 1954 and the University of Wiscosnin-Milwaukee in 1958. On July 26, 1958, she married Bjorn (Bj) Halvorsen at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, Two Rivers. He preceded her in death on March 10, 1992. As a volunteer from 1959 until 1967, Les Ann partnered with Bj in the establishment of a program that would enable young adults with disabilities to realize fulfilling and productive lives through meaningful and gainful employment. After this program became a viable enterprise in the community, she devoted her professional life to Holiday House of Manitowoc County, Inc. as its Language and Speech Therapist. In 1973, Les Ann became a certified sign and oral interpreter providing services for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing residents of Manitowoc County and Northeastern Wisconsin.

He many awards and achievements were culminated when she was presented with the 2010 Manitowoc-Two Rivers Chamber of Commerce Athena Award, given to acknowledge the highest level of professional accomplishment. Dedicated as Les Ann was to the mission of assisting people with disabilities to realize their fullest potential, she considered her personal avocation of home making and raising her children paramount to her vocation. To the date of her death, she felt grateful to her parents for the upbringing and education they provided and she deeply cherished those moments spent with her family as they prayed together, talked of their day's experience, read books together, reviewed art and craft work, worked in the kitchen or yard together, planned for holidays and parties or simply took a walk around the block or along a wooded path. She was expecially pleased when she had the opportunity to watch her family participate in theater, art, sporting events and other activities. Her children's friends, too, were important to her and she considered them special unto her death. Her personal life was deeply enriched by other special friendships derived from affiliation with Kappa Lambda Iota sorority sisters; members of AAUW BookGroup; the Holy Innocents Men's Choir; member of the Manitowoc Deaf Community, their families and friends especially (private); the Manitowoc Sunrise Rotary Club; the (private) family of Amagasaki, Japan and the (private) family of Oslow, Norway.
