In the 1885 census, he is G. O. Ellingboe in Pillsbury Twp, Swift County.

In the 1895 census he is George Ellingboe and has remarried and is in Kerkhoven Twp.

The November 23, 1897, edition of the Willmar Tribune says that George Ellingboe moved his family to Mille Lacs, Minnesota. In March of 1898, that paper noted that George was on his way to Aitkin County.

In the 1905 state census he and his family live in Lake George Twp, Stearns County.

Land records show that the St. Cloud land office issued a 153.67 acre homestead in Section 2 of Aitkin County to a George O Ellingboe on 14 Jun 1904. The land description is as follows:

1 E½NE 4TH PM No 44 N 24 W

In the 1910 census, he was a farmer in Crow River Twp, Stearns County. Living with the family is Sarah’s mother, Signe or Sigre Handa or Handr. The Hande site says that George purchased land in Churchbridge, Saskatchewan, in 1906.

George moved his family to Canada in 1911. In the 1916 Canadian census, he is George C Ellingboe, age 57, living with his family in “22, 32, 1, Churchbridge” in the province of Saskatchewan, district of “28 Saltcoats.” Living with him is Sarah, 43, Josef S, 13, Verda, 17, Harry C, 19, William R, 8, Mildred J, 11, and Marcus S, 1.

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 10 May 1835, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

She is Marit Olsdatter Lajord (#I22262) in Jim’s Valdres Slekt tree. In that tree, her parents are Ola Christopherson Kvåle (1809-1903) and Berit Torsteinsdatter Kattevold (1821-1885).

She is Marit Olsdatter Qvale, #I8255, in Jim’s Ellingboe tree. In that tree, her parents are Ole Christopherson Qvale (1809-1903) and Kjersti Simonsdatter Søyne (1812-1864).

The Ellingboe tree record is the more recently modified, suggesting that it is more authoritative. The Vang birth record confirms that Marith was the daughter of the unmarried couple Ole Christopherson Qvale and Kirsti Simonsdatter Lajord.

Jim’s notes for Marit in his Ellingboe tree:

Marit was the illegitimate daughter of Ole Christopherson Kvåle and Kirsti Simonsdatter Lajord (or Søyne), according to the Vang church books, but I could not find anything about this in Anders Frøholm's Vang A.

The emigration records for Vang show that on 22 Mar 1862, Marith Olsdotter Ellingböe, widow, age 27, intended to travel to America with her two sons, Ole Olson (age 6) and Jörgen Olson (age 4). Marit was married in 1857 to Ola Jørnsson (born 1831, died between 1859 and 1862), who farmed a piece of land called "Plassen, Nørre Plassen or Jørnplassen, under Ellingbø, Nigarden, no. 33/1.”

According to the 1885 Minnesota census, her son Andrew was born in Ontario, although Arta Juneau believes that he was born soon after Marit's arrival in Northfield, Minnesota, where her brother Tosten Quamme was already living. Apparently she never remarried and had a difficult life, dying in her sixties.

Marith, 27 a widow, Ole, 6, and Jørgen, 4, left Vang for Amerika on March 22, 1862, through Bergen. This was the same day that Thrond Iverson Ellingboe (#3164) left Vang for America with his family. In Marit’s emigration record there is no mention of Andrew. In a Norway Lake church record, Marit, as Ole’s mother, is reported to have come to Goodhue County in 1862 and to Norway Lake in 1868.

Could not find an entry for Andrew’s birth in the Vang parish record.

In the 1870 census, Mary and her three boys are living on the Cal Johnson farm in Benson Twp, Chippewa County, Minnesota.

In the 1875 Minnesota census, she is Mary Olsen, 29, living with her three boys in Kerkhoven Twp, Swift County.

In the 1880 census, Marit and her three boys are living on the V. J. Finstad farm in Kerkhoven Twp. George, 21, is “teaching.” Also living on that farm were Marit Ellingboe, a 46 year-old widow, “housekeeper”, and Marit’s two sons, Ole, 23, and Andew, 18. All four of these Ellingboes were born in Norway.

In the 1885 census she is living in Kerkhoven Twp with her sons Ole, 28, and Anders, 22, as well as Erland Johnson, 21, of Norway. Anders is shown as born in Ontario.

There is a gravestone for Marith O. Ellingboe in the Sunburg cemetery that provides the 1885 death date.

She was a charter member of West Norway Lake Lutheran Church.
