Loren Roswell Halteman was born on 5 December 1904 in 522 West Lafayette Ave., Norristown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.1,2 He was the son of William S. Halteman and Melvina Raysor. Conflicting evidence states that Loren Roswell Halteman was born on 6 December 1904 in Norristown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.3 He was the ward of Josiah S. Halteman and Catherine Euirey between 1910 and 1921. He was a newsboy for a news agency in January 1920.4 He married Ruth (?) in Colorado. He began military service on 7 April 1931, two days after Easter, in Camden, Camden County, New Jersey, in the U.S. Army Air Corps.5,6 He was warrant officer.3 He made his carrer in the U.S. Air Force. He left the service briefly, but rejoined after he found that he missed it. His father helped him in re-enlisting. He and Ruth lived in 1950 in 1342 Adams Avenue, Denver, Denver County, Colorado.7
Published material, which is under copyright, appeared on 11 May 1951 in Lowry Airmen, Lowry, Colorado. It read M/Sgt. L. R. Halteman, First Sergeant of the 3415th Aircraft Gunnery Group, Hq. & Hq. Sq., entered the service in April 1931. He enlisted at Camden, New Jersey, though his record shows Norristown, Pa. to be his home town. M/Sgt. Halteman received his initial training at Fort Slocum, New York, and was assigned to the Coast Artillery at Kamehameha, Hawaii.
He finished his first enlistment at Fort Hancock, New York, and "re-upped" in the Quartermaster's Corps at Baltimore, Maryland. Transferring to the Air Force in July, 1939, he was stationed at Lowry until October 1942. He was then assigned to Fresno, California, and in August 1943 re-assigned again to Salina, Kansas. In October 1943 he was moved back to Lowry and remained here until he was discharged in 1947, having reached the grade of Warrant Officer. In January 1947 he re-enlisted as Master Sergeant and went to Japan for the occupation. He remained in Japan until 1949 when he was once again returned to Lowry and assigned to the legal office. He was assigned as First Sergeant of the Gunnery Group in September 1950 when the squadron was formed.
M/Sgt. Halteman, not a man of long and flowery speeches, has this to say about his service career, "It's been pretty good to me." He resides in Denver with his wife Ruth.5 Loren was a member of the Air Force, but he never flew in an airplane.8 He lived in East Coventry Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.3 He lived in 1989 at Manatawny Manor, Pottstown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.9,3 He died at 2:10 p.m. On 11 October 1989 in Pottstown Memorial Medical Center, Pottstown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, at age 84 years, 10 months and 6 days.10,11 The cause of Loren's death was sepsis due to a congestive heart failure with metarolic acidosis and renal failure as underlaying causes.3 He was cremated on 12 October 1989 at R.A. Ferris & Co., West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania.3

William S. Halteman wrote in his diary, in the entry immediately after he records his mother's death, the following: 'Father sold all out // on Sat. Nov 27--15 // horse brought $10.00 // house brought $2680 // sold my organ for $12. 00' //-indicates new line.18 He died at 12:05 a.m. On 23 December 1920 in Franconia Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, at age 78 years, 6 months and 17 days. The place of his death, according to his death certificate, is Franconica Township, Montgomery County. According to the funeral memorial card, and the diary of his son William, he died in Souderton. Since he died in 1920, he could not have died in both places. Souderton was incorperated in 1897, with minor changes in the border made in 1917. He was a resident of the Mennonite Home; it is known that many places in the township have postal addresses in Souderton. If the Home had a mailing address in Souderton, while within the borders of Franconia Township, this would explain the disparity.1,19,20 The cause of Moses's death was peritirutis, congestive of lungs and heart failure.1 The physican in attendance was D. M. Landis, M.D. of Perkasie, Pennsylvania who had attended him from Jan. 13, 1912. The doctor last saw him alive December 22nd.1 He was buried on 27 December 1920 in St. Vincent Reformed Cemetery, near Kimberton, East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.19,20,1 His estate was probated on 12 January 1921.

He is recorded as a seven year old male born in Pennsylvania, and having attended school in the previous year.21 He appeared in the census enumerated on 1857 in East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. He appeared on the census enumerated on 31 July 1860 in East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, living with Christian Halteman.

The census enumerator recorded the name incorrectly.9 He appeared on the census enumerated on 2 June 1880 in East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, as the head of the household. Living with him were his wife Almira and their children Josiah S., Laura and Warren S. Halteman, as well as two unrelated persons. Moses was recorded, incorrectly, with the name Moses HULDEMAN, a 38-year-old white married male employed as a farmer.

William S. Halteman wrote in his diary, in the entry immediately after he records his mother's death, the following: 'Father sold all out // on Sat. Nov 27--15 // horse brought $10.00 // house brought $2680 // sold my organ for $12. 00' //-indicates new line.18 He died at 12:05 a.m. On 23 December 1920 in Franconia Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, at age 78 years, 6 months and 17 days. The place of his death, according to his death certificate, is Franconica Township, Montgomery County. According to the funeral memorial card, and the diary of his son William, he died in Souderton. Since he died in 1920, he could not have died in both places. Souderton was incorperated in 1897, with minor changes in the border made in 1917. He was a resident of the Mennonite Home; it is known that many places in the township have postal addresses in Souderton. If the Home had a mailing address in Souderton, while within the borders of Franconia Township, this would explain the disparity.1,19,20 The cause of Moses's death was peritirutis, congestive of lungs and heart failure.1 The physican in attendance was D. M. Landis, M.D. of Perkasie, Pennsylvania who had attended him from Jan. 13, 1912. The doctor last saw him alive December 22nd.1 He was buried on 27 December 1920 in St. Vincent Reformed Cemetery, near Kimberton, East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.19,20,1 His estate was probated on 12 January 1921.
Moses S. Halteman appeared on the census enumerated on 9 August 1850 in West Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, living with Christian Halteman and Deborah B. Stauffer. He is recorded as a seven year old male born in Pennsylvania, and having attended school in the previous year.21 He appeared in the census enumerated on 1857 in East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. He appeared on the census enumerated on 31 July 1860 in East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, living with Christian Halteman. He was recorded as a 17-year-old male born in Pennsylvania, attending school, and whose occupation was given as "assistant in house."22 He appeared on the census enumerated on 31 August 1870 in East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, as the head of the household. Enumerated with him was his wife Almira Schultz and their daughter Irene. Living with them were her mother and sister. Moses was recorded as a 28-year-old white male employed as a farmer. He was born in Pennsylvania to native born parents. He was recorded as having real estate valued at $4,000 and a personal estate worth $800.

Josiah was listed as a member of a church in St. Vincent Reformed Church, East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, on 1 April 1882.3 He was baptized as an adult and confirmed on 28 April 1888 at age 14 in St. Vincent Reformed Church, East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. The service was conducted by the pastor, the Rev. J. A. Mentz. Several others were received into church membership at the same time.4 Josiah was listed as a member of a church in St. Vincent Reformed Church, East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, Spring of 1895.5 He married Catherine Euirey circa 1896.6,7 He and Catherine lived in 1897 in East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.8,9 He was a laborer, as described on his son's birth record, in 1897.10,11 He received the sacrament of Holy Communion every time it was celebrated from the beginning of 1898 till the end of 1904 with the exceptions of July 1900 and October 1903 in St. Vincent Reformed Church, East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.12 Josiah was chosen as a deacon of St. Vincent Reformed Church on 15 April 1900 His term expired in 1902, and he was not re-elected. He was chosen again to serve as a deacon, nominated on April 11th and elected on Easter Monday 17 April 1905. The term expired in 1908.13,14,15 He paid H. L. Detweiler $15, the balance of what was owed on his burial lot in May 1900.16 He was appointed as a member, with George R Hallman, of an auditing committee on 31 March 1902 in St. Vincent Reformed Church, East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. They audited the accounts of the secretary and treasurer, and found $2.10.17 The church consistory of St. Vincent Reformed Church elected Josiah S. Halteman as their secretary on 15 July 1903.18 He and Catherine lived before 1905 in 135 Second Avenue, Royersford, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Josiah resided there until his death.1,19,20 Josiah was chosen as an elder of St. Vincent Reformed Church on 14 April 1908 He was elected on Easter Monday, April 20th for a term which expired in 1911, at which time he was re-elected for a term which was set to expire in 1914.21,22 He was a carpenter in 1910.23 He and Catherine Euirey were the guardian of Loren Roswell Halteman and William Everette Halteman between 1910 and 1921 After the death of Melvina Raysor Halteman, his brother William entrusted the care of his sons to Josiah and Katie. It was impossible for him to care of them alone, considering their ages and his need to make a living.
Josiah and Catherine were dismissed from church membership at St. Vincent Reformed Church on 1 October 1911 The reason for the dismissal is not given, but Josiah resigned from all of his church offices a few days before, resignation accepted, at a church consistery meeting.24 He was named the executor, along with Thomas Taylor, under the Will of Moses S.

He collected information about the family at that first reunion and compiled a family tree for the 1914 reunion. He requested that each person give him the names of the family members from great-grandparents to great-grandchildren, with addresses, and information as to deaths and marriages. They decided to hold the 1927 reunion--celebrating the 200th anniversary of the family's arrival in this country--at the site of farm of Nicholas Halteman. The 1736 records show that he had 100 acres in Salford Township. A committee consisting of Josiah, of George Shantz and Abraham Haldeman researched the question and could provide details as to the movements of their ancestor since he landed in America, but as of the 1923 reunion could not locate the original farm. That reunion was held on Saturday, Aug. 20, 1927 at Tyson's farm near Scwenchsville, Pa. That was the home and farm of Nicholas. He was a pallbearer at Almira Schultz's funeral in her home, East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, on 11 November 1915.26
A petition for the administration of the estate of Almira Schultz was made by Josiah S. Halteman on 10 April 1916 in Office of the Register of Wills, Chester County, Pennsylvania.27 He was the administrator of his grandmother's estate and, with his brother-in-law Thomas Taylor, he was the administror of his Aunt Louisa's estate and the executor of his father's Will. After the death of his wife Katie, Josiah hired a housekeeper, known as Mrs. W. She remained with him the reminder of his life, and it was thought by many in the family that they would marry one day. They never did. She was said to be kind, warm-hearted, and a pleasure to be around. The family loved her. He was employed by Bush Brothers Planning Mill in Royersford, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.1 He was a member of the Royersford Bourough Council for twelve years.1 He swore out an affidavit testifying to the facts of his brother William's birth and that he knew William his entire life 15 July 1942 in Orphan's Court, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Otto H. Moyer, a notary public, took the oath.28 He died on 13 October 1945 in Montgomery Hospital, Norristown, Pennsylvania, at age 72 years and 3 months.29,1 He was buried on 16 October 1945 in St. Vincent Reformed Cemetery, East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.30,1,31 His obituary appeared in The Daily Republican, Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, on 15 October 1945.
