The 1957 obituary of Mary Anna Ingvaldson Anderson names her parents as Ingvold and Anna Ingvaldson. The memorial links these to Halvor Ingvaldson and Anna Simonson. This fits the surname and mother's first name, but "Halvor" is not in the text, so it supports only "Ingvold" as an alternate name, and that rests on the compiler's identification.
Matches: Obituary names the father as "Ingvold" Ingvaldson, a plausible variant of Halvor Ingvaldson's name per the citation note; Mother named Anna Ingvaldson, matching Anna Simonson Ingvaldson on the memorial; Born in Freeborn County in 1876, which fits the 1842 birth year of a father and 1851 birth year of a mother
Flags: The obituary gives the father's name as "Ingvold", not "Halvor"; the equation of Halvor with Ingvold rests on the memorial's link, not on the obituary itself
Limits: Find a Grave transcription of a newspaper obituary, with no image of the original; The obituary does not state "Halvor" anywhere, and gives no dates for him (1842–1905); The identification of Ingvold as Halvor comes from the memorial compiler's note; The claim is about his name, and this source supports only a variant or alias, not the full name
What it supports
- Person — Halvor Ingvaldson
