Notes:

Erick (“Erik”) and his family were living in Warsaw Township, Goodhue County, in the 1910 census. The family consisted of Erick, 33, his wife Johanna, 28, their daughter Ammanda, 4, their son Ivar, 2, and Erick’s mother Ambjor, 60. Johanna is shown to have had 2 children, both still living. Johanna and Erick had been married for 5 years.

He is probably the E. I. Ellingboe who is shown as owning 120 acres in Warsaw Twp, Goodhue County, in a 1914 land ownership atlas. His farm consists of two parcels: 1) an 80 acre parcel that is the eastern half of the northeast quarter of Section 29, and 2) a 40 acre parcel that is the southwest quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 20. The two parcels touch at a corner.

Registered for the draft on September 12, 1918, in Red Wing as Erick Ellingboe, born March 21, 1877, and living at Route #2, Dennison, Goodhue County. He is a farmer. His nearest relative is Mrs. Johanna Ellingboe of Route #2, Dennison. Erick is tall and of stout build. There is no entry for the color of his eyes or hair.

In the 1920 census, Erick (now spelled correctly) and his family are still living in Warsaw Township. The family consisted of Erick, 42, Johanna, 36, Ivar, 12, Edward, 9, and Erick 6. Living on the farm next door is a 14 year old servant girl name Gurianna Ellingbo. The handwriting is poor: that servant girl may be Amanda Ellingboe.

In the 1930 census, Erick (now spelled correctly) and his family were still living in Warsaw Township. The family consisted of Erick, 52, his wife Bertha J., 46, his mother Ambjor, 79, daughter Amanda B., 23, son Iver, 21, son Edward, 19, and son Erick J., 16. There is no entry in the column for how long Erick and Bertha had been married. Bertha J. is probably the same person as Johanna Ellingboe. Erick Jr.’s mother’s maiden name is shown, in his death certificate, as Svien.

Next door to Erick lived Ole Egland, wife Martha, and son Arthur A. who, apparently, later married Erick’s daughter Amanda.

He owned 1 share of the Nerstrand Farmers Mercantile and Elevator Company as of January of 1959.

Jim’s notes (according to a letter from Vickie H.):

"Ambjør," as her name was written in earlier records, was five years old when her family of eight immigrated to the Spring Prairie community in Columbia County, Wisconsin. In 1861 her family came to Warsaw Township in Goodhue County, where she spent the rest of her life. On May 22, 1864, Ambjor was confirmed with 13 others at Holden Lutheran Church, rural Kenyon. Her parents later joined Vang Lutheran Church in Dennison. After marriage Ambjor and Iver lived in Warsaw Township near the Kasa farm. She became a widow at the age of 32 years, and gave birth to her 5th child eight months after Iver's death. In 1911 Ambjor sold, to her son Erik, 126 acres in sections 20 and 29 of Warsaw Township for $7,000. At the time of the 1930 census, she was living with Erik and his family. Prior to her death, she lived with her daughter Christine in Dennison. Ambjor was the last surviving child of Erika and Berit Nystuen Kasa's seven children. She and Iver had five children.
