Grace E CRIBB

Notes:

In the 1930 census, she is the Grace C. Ellingboe who had been born in Wisconsin in about 1892 and was the wife of Clarence Ellingboe. He was shown as to have also been born in ca 1892 in Wisconsin. The couple had been married in ca 1928. Clarence was a foreman in a car shop and Grace was a saleslady in a department store. They lived in Rose Twp in Ramsey County. Clarence’s parents were also born in Wisconsin and Clarence had been in World War I. The couple rented at 607 Rose Hill in Rose Twp.

Judging by others in the same monument lot in Lakewood Cemetery, Grace may be part of the Cribb family, many of whose members also died in Milwaukee. These Cribbs in Lakewood Section 15, Lot 54, are:

Grave 2 Ernest C Cribb, d. 20 May 1911 in Bend, Oregon, at the age of 29.
Grave 3 Margaret Ann Cribb, d. 7 Jan 1929 at the age of 80.
Grave 4 George C Cribb, d. 23 Nov 1894 in Milwaukee at the age of 43; moved to Lakewood in April of 1912.
Grave 5 Maud Cribb Blodgett, d. 18 Jul 1902 in Milwaukee at the age of 29; moved to Lakewood in April of 1912.
Grave 6 is Grace C Ellingboe, died at age 61.
Grave 7 is Jean Blakney, d. 16 Oct 1914 at the age of 84.

(Grave 11 contains Grace’s sister Jessie and Jessie’s husband Frederick A Erb, a physician living in Minneapolis in the 1930 census.)

From the 1905 Wisconsin state census, we see that Grace is, indeed, Grace E Cribb, then shown as age 18 and living with her mother Margaret, a 59 year-old widow, and her brother Ernest, 24, and Helen, 14.

In the 1910 census, Margaret, with her three children Ernest, Grace, and Helen, were living in Minneapolis near Hennepin Avenue and West 36th Street. Grace, age 22, was a bookkeeper for a cemetery association.

In the 1920 census, Margaret, with Grace and Helen, are living at 3712 Colfax Avenue in south Minneapolis. Grace is a solicitor for a cattle commission company.

In the 1932 Minneapolis city directory, she may be the Grace Ellingboe, a saleswoman for Dayton’s, who lives at 3440 Emerson Avenue S.

She and Clarence had moved to Milwaukee “several months” before her death. She was survived by her husband and two sisters. She, like Clarence, was a former Menasha resident.
