Florine Dorr married Bjorn "Bennie" Halleland (b. circa 1903) circa 1940. He was a native of Oslo, Norway, and immigrated to the United States circa 1925. Captain Halleland served in the United States Navy during WW II convoying airplanes and pilots to the European theater. His ships were torpedoed several times in the North Atlantic by German submarines. The Hallelands divorced after the war. He died several years ago at Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Mrs. Florine Dorr Halleland is now Mrs. Florine Earl and resides at Pearlington across the street from the Boardman-Russ House on Highway 604. In October 1945, Florine D. Halleland, sold the house to her brother, Lovell Dorr (1899-1984).(5) Mr. Dorr made his livelihood as a diesel engineer seaman. He was the father of the following children: Marvin Dorr (Belle Chase, Louisiana), Glen Dorr (Pearlington), Gerald Dorr and John Dorr (Luling, Louisiana) , Vera Rullens (Westwego, Louisiana) , Helen Rullens (Westwego, Louisiana), and Margie Viondolion (Marrero, Louisiana) . Lovell Dorr, also, had a brother, Theodore Dorr, who resides at Slidell, Louisiana. Lovell Dorr and his family later moved to the Westwego area of New Orleans. It is believed that the Boardman-Russ House has been abandoned since the late 1950s. The roof was damaged during Hurricane Camille of August 1969. The structure has been demolishing by neglect for many years. Lovell Dorr was a member of the Pearlington Southern Baptist Church. He died on November 27, 1984, and was in- terred at the Logtown Cemetery. In July 1969, Lovell Dorr conveyed the property to his son, Glenn Dorr (b. circa 1943).(6) Glenn Dorr works as a law enforcement officer for Hancock County, and has several businesses at Slidell, Louisiana. He resides on the property. REFERENCES: 1. Hancock County, Mississippi Land Deed Book 1, p. 82 2 . Book B, p. 476 3 . Book M, p. 184. 4. 111, 112, and 113, Book G-6, pp. 5 . Book G—8, p. 235. 6.
