She is the daughter of Ferdinand and Lily Flatz. In the 1905 state census, the family lived in Morristown in Rice County. In the 1910 census, she was living with her parents and siblings in Virginia, Minnesota.

In the 1920 census, she was living with her parents and siblings in north Minneapolis. She worked for the telephone company.

A Margie B. “Faltz” married a William D Erickson in Hennepin County on 26 Aug 1922. It’s likely, then, that she was Bill Erickson’s second and fifth (last) wife.

In the 1950 Minneapolis city directory, Mrs. Marjorie B Flatz lived at 2719 Harriet Avenue. She was a telephone operator for Werner Transport.

She is the Grethe Haga, age 18, from Norway and headed to Minnesota, who arrived in Boston on 19 Jun 1892 aboard the Cephalonia. She had left Trondheim, as the 18 year-old Grethe Haga, on June 1st aboard the feeder ship Juno. She gave Boston, Massachusetts, as her destination.

She married her 2nd cousin.

She is Mrs. Gertie M. Bye in the 1905 state census. She had been in Minnesota for 13 years.

Although John is shown as a widower in the 1910 census (although not in the 1920 census), this is incorrect. Gertie spent her last years (perhaps her last 15-17 years) as an inmate in the county insane asylum. A Gertie Bye, age 37 and married, was in the Fergus Falls State Hospital at the time of the 1910 census. A Gertie Bye, age 46 and married, was in the Fergus Falls State Hospital for the Insane in the 1920 census.

She died of pneumonia brought on by septic tonsilitis. The hospital records showed her parents were Mekal Hoga and Gurena Johnson.

She is the Mrs. Undine Woods who married Robert J Stekiel in Longview, Washington, on 1 Sep 1956. However the newspaper article on her wedding says that she was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Hoyem of Kelso and that her father gave her away in marriage.

She is the nine year-old Julie Gilbertson, daughter of Helga Knudsen, living in Little Falls with her mother, step-father, and siblings in the 1910 census.

In the 1920 census, she and her mother are living with her step-father (Carl Knudsen) and step-brother in Duluth.

In the 1938 Peoria city directory, Julia lived at 302 Behrends and is shown as the widow of Melvin.

In all of the later city directories, she is always shown as the widow of Melvin

In the 1952 and 1955 Peoria city directories, Julia lived at 302 Behrends and was the credit manager of Sol Berman.

In the 1956 Peoria city directory, Julia lived at 4204 Wycliffe Road. She was the credit manager for Berman Furniture.

In the 1957 and 1959 Peoria city directories, Julia is still at 4204 Wycliffe Road but is a cashier for McKee Jewelers.

KJØS, Marit Andersdatter (I36992)

18116

She is the Randi Evensdatter, 62 years old and twice widowed, living on Ellingbö in the 1801 census. She is the mother of Tron Andersen, age 31, husband of Marit Madsdatter, age 39. Her occupation or role on the farm in the 1801 census was “har vilkaar i gaarden”, which seems to mean that she was receiving a living on the farm, probably on the basis of one of her marriages, and that she had sold or transferred her interest in the farm to someone else.

ELLINGBØ, Ragndi Eivindsdatter (I12023)

18117

She is the second Ragnhild born to Torsten and Marit. The first was born and died in 1745.

The French Family Tree disagrees entirely with the ancestry of Ragnild shown here. dwfrench1 calls her Ragnild Tostensdatter Dahle, b. 1753 in Skolte in Dale in Hegge, with her parents being Tosten Findsen Dahle (1716-1755) and Sigrid Nielsdatter Skolt (1719-1782).

She is the unnamed Thompson female born in Nunda Twp to Henry and Isabella on September 14, 1888. The birth was registered on October 8, 1888.

In the 1930 census, she and her husband and their 8 children lived in Hayward Twp, Freeborn County, Minnesota.

She is the younger of the two Marit Olsdatters born to these parents. The older one married Haldor T Vik and lived to 1908.

ØYEN, Marit Olsdatter (I23297)

18120

She is the younger of two sisters named Berit. She appears to be the only sibling who came to the U.S. or had children come to the U.S.

At the time of the 1865 Norwegian census she was Berith Arnesdatter, born 1847 in Vang, living with the household of Torger Ejvindsen and Sigrid Torstensdatter (born 1822 and 1825, respectively, in Øystre Slidre Prgj.) on the farm of Holien in Vang. Berith is shown as unmarried, “hans Søsterdatter”, and “bestyrer hans Husholdning.” Listed just before Berith, and the reference of “his”, is Ole Andersen, born 1787 in Vang, “deres Føderaadsmand.” (That Ole is I8411.)

In the 1900 census, Betsy and family are living in New Market Township. The family consists of Betsy, 50 (born August 1849), Ole, 24 (born Sep 1875), Tillie, 21 (born June 1878), Oscar, 16 (born June 1883), Albert, 15 (born 1885), Olga, 12 (born Sep 1887), and Clara, 5 (born January 1895). For some reason, Anna Maria is not listed with the family and does not appear to have been included anywhere else in the census. Olga and Clara were born in Minnesota. Betsy is shown as having had 10 children, 8 still living. The family emigrated in 1887. Betsy owns the farm but it is still mortgaged.

In the 1905 state census, Betsy Ellingbo lives in Scott County with her children Ole, Anna, Albert, and Clara. (Olga seems to have been missed.)

In the 1910 census (May 10th), Betsy is 60 and four of her children are living with her: Anna, 29, Albert, 25, Olga, 22, and Clara, 15. Olga’s occupation is clearly shown as servant; Albert’s as a traveling something in the creamery industry.

Two doors down from Betsy is her son Ole and his new wife Rosie.

Evey says: “My father’s parents were buried ... in an area outlined in cement. A spire-like gravestone was in the middle of the area with Grandpa’s name on it and with ‘born’ and ‘died’ written in Norwegian with the dates. Grandma Ellingboe was also buried there.”

In the 1918 Alien Registration, she was Betsy Ellingboe, age 69, of Lakeville, Scott County.

Shown as “Betsy” in the 1920 census. In that enumeration, she is shown as the head of household, owning her property free of any mortgage, and Albert, Clara, and Olga are shown as living with her. Also in that enumeration, Berit is shown as being unable to read or to write. The census enumerator apparently had some trouble determining whether or not Berit was able to speak English; he finally concluded that she was.

Her death certificate, for which her daughter Thea was the informant, gives Berit’s birth year as 1847. She lived at 306 Washington in Northfield where she had lived since the summer of 1924. She died of cardiorenal disease.

Her obit was in the Northfield News, April 2, 1926 edition:

Mrs. Betsy Ellingboe died at the home of her daughter, Mrs Alvin Liggett, Friday, March 26, 1926, at 12:15 following a lingering illness of several months. The funeral was held at the Liggett home at 12 o'clock Tuesday and at the Christiania Lutheran Church in the afternoon. Rev O. E. Skavlan officiated. Burial was in the church cemetery. Mrs. Betsy Ellingboe was born in Valders, Norway on August 26, 1843. She was married to Ova Ellingboe in Norway and more than forty-five years ago immigrated to the United States. They made their home in Wisconsin for a short time and later came to Lakeville where they made their home until Mr. Ellingboe's death, 37 years ago. Mrs. Ellingboe made her home with her children, having lived in the Liggett home for a year. Mrs. Ellingboe is survived by eight children, Mrs. Mary Lee, Omak, Washington; Ole Ellingboe, Mrs George Tonsager and Albert Ellingboe, all of Lakeville; Oscar Ellingboe of Leavenworth, Kansas; Mrs John Selmo, Solway, Minnesota; Miss Olga Ellingboe and Mrs. Albert Liggett of Northfield. 08-26-1843/03-26-1926

She is probably the “Betsy, widow of Ole Ellingboe” living at 312 Washington in the 1926 Northfield city directory. Evey believes that Berit, and probably Olga and Clara, moved to Northfield after Albert and Annie were married and took over the Ellingboe farm in New Market.

She doesn’t seem to have an individual gravestone at the cemetery plot in the West Christiania Cemetery.
