Alvin Iverson

Alvin Iverson, age 93 of Woodville, formerly of North Hudson, died Sunday January 22, 2012, with family at his side. Alvin was born on May 27, 1918 in Woodville, the youngest son of John and Mathea (Olson) Iverson. After graduation from high school, he entered the U.S. Army, proudly serving during World War II.

On May 10, 1945 he married Lois Gullickson of Woodville. They were blessed with two children; Jim and Kristi. In 1959, Alvin built a home in North Hudson for his young family, and he lived in it for 50 years, until his return to Woodville. He was a gifted carpenter who worked in residential building in St. Paul, MN and the St. Croix Valley. Once he retired, he and Lois worked on many woodworking projects together. They traveled, spent time “up north”, and enjoyed their grandkids and friends.

Alvin is survived by his daughter Kristi (Tim) Myhra of Stillwater, granddaughters Melissa (Eric) Norlander of Stillwater, and Elizabeth Myhra of Elk River; brother Harold (Gladys) Iverson of Woodville, brother-in-law George Helgeson of Woodville, and sister-in-law Virginia (Al) Johnson of Cannon Falls, MN.; many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife Lois, son Jim, and many relatives and friends, all of whom he loved and missed.
