The plat book for Manitowoc County showed that his farm was in section 15, Gibson.

In the 1885 state census, there were two Ellingboe households in the town of Gibson, Manitowoc County. In the H. Ellingboe household there were 10 people: 7 born in the U.S. and 3 born in Scandinavia. Of the 10, 7 were male and 3 were female. In the G. Ellingboe household there were 5 people: 3 born in the U.S. and 2 in Scandinavia. Of the 5, 2 were male and 3 were female. (Those 5 were Gulbrand, his sister Randi, and Randi’s 3 children.)

Helge was the clerk of the Gibson/Zander school district between 1880 and 1898.

In the 1900 census, he is entered at the bottom of page 12 of 31 in Gibson, District 67. The family appears to have been indexed as Clollinglog. Still living at home at that time were the seven youngest children. The 1900 census showed that Helge owned his farm, free of mortgage.

The Valdris book, the 1920 history and “manual” of the Valdris Samband, lists Helge C Ellingboe of “Mishicot Wis” as a member between 1908 and 1914.

A note in his death record (ELCA church records) says that “at the time of his death he was the only remaining founder of church in Gibson.”

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Farmer

Notes:

According to usual practice, he would have owned the farm, but most likely he wasn't very healthy, because his brother-in-law Pål Kristoffersson took over in 1785. Andris lived at home. His "pension" and that of his mother were received from Pål and the pension agreement was renewed in 1807. He died on the farm as a pauper, supported by the community. It seems that the family lived at Haga, a subfarm under Jøvne for a time ca. 1810, but otherwise they lived at Nordland Sygarden, no 57/1.
