The Seattle Passenger and Crew Lists show a Roy M Eidal, age 27, arriving in Seattle on November 11, 1932, on the ship Aleutian Native. The port of departure had been Vancouver, B.C.

George B Gronvold was one of the witnesses to Roy’s wedding to Doris.

In the 1935 Seattle city directory, he and Doris lived at 6401 12th Avenue NE. He was a salesman for HW.

In the 1940 census, he was divorced and living as a single man in what appears to be an apartment building on Spring Street in Seattle. He was a sales manager for truck equipment company. He made $4000 in 1939. He had had one year of college.

In the 1955 and 1960 city directories for Albuquerque, he was married to Jacqueline and they lived at the Hilton Hotel. He was president of Eidal Manufacturing Co.

His obit in the February 12, 1974, edition of the Ellensburg Daily Record:

Roy Martin Eidal, former Ellensburg resident, died February 8th in Alburquerque. He was born in Ellensburg October 16, 1905, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Eidal, prominent valley pioneers.

Funeral will be conducted at Strong-Thorne Mortuary in Albuquerque Tuesday at 2 p.m. Burial will be at Greenwood Park in Phoenix.

He was chairman of the board of Eidal International and a member of the Queen Anne Lodge 242 F&AM, Seattle, the Elks Lodge, Albuquerque Country Club, Four Hills Country Club, and the Petroleum Club.

He is survived by two sisters: Mrs. Marie Maxson, Seattle, and Mrs. Haskell Carter, Portland; and a daughter, Sue Eidal, of Seattle.

Regarding Eidal International, from its website:

Eidal International was formed by Roy M. Eidal in November 1943 as Eidal Manufacturing Company for the purpose of producing military trailers for the United States government. After World War II, the changeover from military to civilian trailers was rapidly made. By mid 1946 Eidal was producing off-highway trailers for the oil industry abroad. Eidal trailers hauled the pipe and other materials that built the Trans Arabian Pipeline across more than 1,000 miles of roadless desert in Saudi Arabia. Eidal hauled construction equipment and materials for Arabian American Oil Company (ARAMCO), and transported drilling rigs to isolated desert areas and serviced these rigs. Eidal transported fuel, food, water, cement, pipe, and housing that permitted oil field crews to live and work in a desolate area.

By 1950, the company was producing fabricated steel for bridges and buildings as well as manufacturing trailers. As the trailer business increased, steel fabrication orders were sought less and less until this business was discontinued completely. For the next decade the company continued with the military trailers business, and to manufacture other military trailers and parts for such equipment. During the Korean conflict, Eidal’s production was directed toward filling U.S. military orders.

As new areas of the world opened to oil exploration, Eidal solicited the business of drilling, exploring and field service firms, and successfully sandwiched military and civilian manufacturing. New areas opened to Eidal. Aside form the Middle East, trailers and components were exported to Australia, Asia, North Africa and South America.

Today, Eidal International through the acquisition of existing companies and the expansion and development of its own product lines Eidal has diversified and expanded and now serves principal markets which include the mass transportation, defense and civilian transportation, oil and gas industries, and military aircraft ground support equipment. In 1991 Eidal produced fifty of its specialized 70-ton heavy-duty transporters for Saudi Arabian Armed Forces.

Eidal major products are lowboy trailers for domestic and overseas customers; military trailers to transport tanks, water, fuel and general cargo; aircraft ground support equipment which include hydraulic test stands, carts, brake testers and retrofit kits for the U.S. Air Force, NATO, and other approved countries; fifth wheels for medium, heavy and severe loads both on-off highway. These vehicles are in service in over seven major cities and national parks in the United States, as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Eidal International continues to be a leader in the production of civilian and military trailers, fifth wheels, aircraft ground support equipment and alternative fuel mass transit vehicles.

The Selthuns, and presumably at least one of his parents, were from Lærdal.

In the 1900 census, he and his family lived in Northfield on Division Street. He was a day laborer, his wife was a laundress. Their daughter Belle was a domestic.

He and his wife seem to have separated and lived apart after about 1920.

In the 1930 census, he seems to be the John A Selthun living as a boarder on the widow Ingborg Svien’s farm in Dennison, Goodhue County. That Ingeborg Svien is in Find A Grave as Ingeborg Selthun Svien, 1883-1974, buried in Vang Lutheran Church Cemetery.

In May of 1933, he was John A. Selthun, living at Ebenezer Home for the Aged, 2545 Portland Avenue, Minneapolis.

eeliason11’s Eliason/Brandon family tree seems to be produced by one of John’s descendants. It has him born in Wisconsin on 4 Apr 1858 and dying in Rice County on 9 Jan 1940.
