Funeral services for Chris Iversen, 88, were held May 3, 1988, at Sievers-Sprick Mortuary, Fort Calhoun.
Chris was born January 29, 1900, on the farm which was home-steaded in 1856 by his great-grandparents, John and Elisa iversen.

He retired from farming in 1967, and moved to Fort Calhoun. For a portion of his later years, he helped with the seasonal care of the Calhoun Cemetery.
He is survived by one brother and sister-in-law, Otto and Christine Iversen; two sisters, Celia Schneider of Blair; Edna Bueher of Omaha; two nephews, Dean Schneider of Omaha and David Bueher of Midland, Michigan; and many cousins.
Pallbearers were Alvin Ohrt, Stanley Gage, Lester Thunn, Edgar Frahm, Bill Mohr and Emil Lorsch.
