  Notes	In the 1900 census he is 12 year-old Arthur O. Ellingboe, b. May 1887, a boarder on the Nils Hystad farm in Norway Lake Twp. He was born in Minnesota, his father was born in Minnesota, and his mother was born in Norway. In a 1914 land ownership atlas of Edgemont Twp, Sheridan County, Arthur owned a 160 acre parcel in Section 10. His contiguous parcel was the western half of the southeast quarter-section and the eastern half of the southwest quarter-section. The entry in the ownership atlas was for “Arthur Ellingboe H. E.” In the 1915 North Dakota state census, he is Arthur Ellingboe, age 26, living in Edgemont Twp, Sheridan County. Registered for the draft as Arthur Ellingboe on June 5, 1917, in Burleigh County, North Dakota. He claims to have been born in Sunburg, Minnesota. He was a self-employed bachelor farmer in Burleigh County, town of Alta. He was of medium height and build with light blue eyes and light hair. He became a Canadian citizen in 1925-1926. Jim’s research provides the connection to Andrew. The information on Selma and Alton are from the Evenson Family Genealogy Web Site. From an article in the Grande Prairie newspaper, September 13, 2021: The Ellingboe family of the west County was recognized for their family’s century of farming in the region this past Sunday, as they were given a Pioneer Farming Award by the County of Grande Prairie Agricultural Services Board. The award comes as the family’s history in the County dates back to 1919, when Arthur Ellingboe came to the region to settle a homestead outside of Beaverlodge. Arthur came to the Peace Country after being born in Minnesota, then lived in North Dakota before moving north. “I remember my dad telling me about advertisements in the paper, offering free land in the Peace Country,” said Arthur’s daughter Arta Juneau-Brown. “He was 32 and a bachelor when he set out by rail in 1918, but the journey was fraught with danger, including moose on the tracks and a derailment.” Juneau-Brown says her father lived in a tent on the farm for the first nine years he resided there, until his mother and step-father moved to join him in 1928. “I’m proud of my father’s tenacity in the face of hardship,” said Juneau-Brown. “He even slept in a snowbank in the absence of any other available accommodations while hauling freight north of Dawson Creek.” In 1941, Ellingboe married Kozey Willard, a woman he had initially hired to care for his mother. Together, they raised eight children, all of whom were present for the Pioneer Farming Award presentation on Sunday. Keeping the initial quarter section in the family, plus the purchase of a second quarter by by family members in 1981, the family now runs a 320-acre farming operation. As recognition for their century of farming in the county, the family was provided with a sign for their property, recognizing their century of farming.
