Mother’s maiden name Christensen on his birth certificate.

Bobby was Lester Tonsager's son, Robert Lester Tonsager, born in November, 1931.

In the 1940 census, Robert lived with his grandparents, George and Thea Tonsager, and apparently had lived with them five years earlier.

Bobby died at age 22 in September of 1954. Lester's young wife (?) Alice died in at age 18 in 1933 so she apparently had Bobby at 16. Lester remarried and died in 1945 at the age of 36. Bobby was apparently associated in some way with the Minnesota Air National Guard. Bobby is buried either with or near Thea and George in West Christiania Cemetery where both of his parents are also buried.

Burial record or gravestone show that Robert Lester was a member of the Minnesota A1C 514 Air Defense Group. Record also says “raised by George and Thea Ellingboe Tonsager.”

A newspaper account of Robert’s death said that he lived at 1820 W. 90th Street in Bloomington and was killed after his car left county road 56 near New Market village and went into a field. Tonsager’s body was found about 30 feet from the roadway. The road was straight where his northbound car apparently left it, traveled 60 feet into the field and then skidded back to the edge of the road. Officials guessed he might have been thrown from the car and then run over by it. Tonsager was dead on arrival at Lakeville hospital.

The death notice for Robert Tonsager appeared in the September 9, 1954, editions of the Shakopee Valley News (p. 1, column 3), and the New Prague Times (p. 6, column 6).
