Notes:

He registered for the WWI draft in Pelican Rapids. On June 5, 1917. At that time, he and his wife and child lived in Pelican Rapids. Hildor was a self-employed barber. He claimed total disability. His description included “hunch back.”

The family lived in the village of Pelican Rapids at the time of the 1930 census. Hildor was a barber in a barbershop.

His birthdate is shown as 28 Feb 1893 in the _index_ of his World War II draft registration but on the registration card itself the year is clearly 1895. In that registration, made in the state of Washington, he gave Ole Grefsrud as the person who would always know his address. That Ole was probably Ole C Grefsrud, b. 8 Sep 1887 in Otter Tail County. Ole was probably related to Johanna Grefsrud, #13857.

He and Mabel lived in Everett, Washington, at least between 1939 and 1950.

Hildor married Mabel Alma TOSO on 10 Dec 1915 in Fergus Falls, Otter Tail County, Minnesota. Mabel (daughter of Anders Jensen TOSO and Johanna Marie Petersdatter MITBO) was born on 17 Aug 1897 in Otter Tail County, Minnesota; died on 2 Aug 1987 in Everett, Snohomish County, Washington.

Other First Name: Anders Jenson

Could not find him and his family in the 1880 census despite a person-by-person search of Norwegian Grove, Trondhjem, Prairie View, and Rothsay townships. There was an Anders Jensen or Jansen with wife Marie of the right age late in the Trondhjem pages but they had no children.

Anders and family lived on a farm that he owned, with a mortgage, in Trondhjem Twp, Otter Tail County, in the 1900 census. Anders had come to the U.S. in 1868. (That is also the immigration date shown in the 1910 census.)

A 60 year-old widower living with his son Anders in the 1910 census.

In the 1930 census, he is an 80 year-old widower living with his daughter Mabel Fredrickson and family.

A history of Anders from his obit:

He came to the U.S. in 1867 and settled in Decorah, Iowa, for 2 years. He left in a covered wagon and “landed” in Trondhjeim Twp, Otter Tail County, in June, 1871, where he and his father each took 160 acre homesteads in Section 29. They lived in dugouts for three years until Anders built a “good-sized log house” on his place. His parents lived in that house until their deaths. Anders lived on the farm until 1914 when he moved to Pelican Rapids to live with his daughter, Mabel Fredrickson. Anders had been blind for three years when he died.

Anders married Johanna Marie Petersdatter MITBO on 9 Jul 1875 in South Immanuel Lutheran Church, Rothsay, Otter Tail County, Minnesota. Johanna (daughter of Petter Anton Christianson MITBO and Kristine JOHANNESDATTER) was born on 3 Jun 1856 in Østre Toten, Oppland, Norway; died on 21 Oct 1907 in Rothsay, Otter Tail County, Minnesota; was buried in South Immanuel Lutheran Church, Rothsay, Otter Tail County, Minnesota.

He and his family lived in the Nordthosø farm in Jevnaker in the 1865 census.
