Ingeborg Andersdatter ELLINGBOE

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 1 May 1814, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway
• Confirmation: 10 Aug 1828, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

There are many erroneous statements of her birthdate. One source says 11 Sep 1812, her obit said that she was born April 24, 1812, and her gravestone says April 22, 1813.

In the 1885 Minnesota state census, she is probably the 74 year-old Isabell Thompson living with her husband Ole with or next door to H O Thompson in Nunda Twp, Freeborn County.

According to the 1900 census she had had 9 children, 6 still living. In that census, she was an 86 year-old widow living with her son Henry and his family in Nunda Twp, Freeborn County, Minnesota.

Worth County is the Iowa county adjacent to Minnesota’s Freeborn County.

From the Hills Crescent, courtesy of Katherine:

March 23, 1905
Mrs. Ingeborg Thompson, mother of Mrs. Nels Iverson, died at the home of her daughter, southeast of town, Thursday, March 17, 1905, of old age. Mrs. Thompson was born in Norway April 24th, 1812 and was therefore nearly 93 years of age. She was not well known here outside the circle of her immediate relatives, having come here from Albert Lea only about two years ago. Mr. & Mrs. Iverson left Lester Saturday morning with the remains for Albert Lea where interment will take place. **(buried Silver Lake Lutheran Cemetery, Worth Co., IA)

The following was originally prepared by Katherine and can be found at Find A Grave:

Engeborg was the youngest of eleven children. She was a strong willed person and probably instigated the family migration to America. She was a tall thin woman with auburn or reddish hair and blue eyes. Lee G. Larson (Lewis Larson's son) remembers that when she was over 90 years old, she smoked a pipe and wore a white cap. Lewis Larson (son-in-law) once commented that Engeborg was quite forceful and sometimes petulant in manner.

Rachel Thompson married Nels Iverson and after Ole's death, Engeborg lived with the Iversons near Hills, Minnesota, until her death. Engeborg and Andrew Thompson went to South Dakota, where they both took up claims near the village of Montrose. Here Engeborg married Lewis "Lars" Hanson Larson; and Andrew, after losing his wife and two young daughters (interred at Montrose cemetery) moved to Spokane, Washington, remarried and raised a new family.

Jarstad i 1752, hun hadde da vært en tid på gården og hjulpet ham med driften.
