Orvis died in an auto accident.

Baptismal sponsors were Thomas Elthon, Endre Ingebretsen something_dalsiet, Berith Johanneshenrichsdatter Øye, Gjertrude Svien, and Kari Nilsdatter Hermundstad.

He is I13470 in Jim’s VS. No wife’s name shown although their daughter Berit is listed as I5705.

He was one of the initial contributors to St. Olaf College and the construction of Old Main.

He and his family were living on his retired parents’ farm in Warsaw, Goodhue County, at the time of the 1880 census. The younger John’s family consisted of John, 35, Berith, 34, John, 12, Erik, 10, Johan, 6, Anne, 4, and Berit, 2.

Baptismal sponsors were Tollef Olson Ellingbö, his wife Marit Jögersdatter, Emilie Erickson Thune, Kristoffer Tollefson Ellingbö, and Anne Olsdatter Kvale.

In the 1900 U. S. census, Rangdi (b. June 1872) and Jorger Ellingbo (b. July 1867), brother and sister, are living with their newly-arrived niece, Mary Ellingboe (b. June 1883), at 1425 Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis. Rangdi is a seamstress, Jorger is a jeweler, and Mary has no occupation. Jorger originally came to the U. S. in 1885 and Rangdi in 1890. That niece Mary may have been caught in the 1900 census at the location of her employer where a 16 year-old Mary Ellingbo (but one supposedly born in May of 1884), recently arrived in the U.S. (1900), is a servant at the home of the Cargill family (the Cargills) on 33rd and Portland. (Could not find a Marit born to Ellingboes in Vang in 1884.)

The Vang church book emigration record shows a Marit Andersdatter Ellingbø, b. 1883, emigrating to the U. S. in 1900, perhaps leaving Vang on March 21st. Ole Iversen Ellingboe (#9188) left Vang at about the same time, perhaps leaving Vang on March 23rd.

Also from the Emigrantar over Bergen frå Austlande, on March 23, 1900, Marit Andersdtr Ellingbø, 17, b. 1883, born and living in Vang, unmarried, departed on the Allan line. Her occupation is shown as “datter af Veivgter.” Marit departed from Liverpool on the S.S. Tunisian on April 5, 1900, and arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, on April 14, 1900. She is shown as Marit A. Ellingboe, single female, age 16, occupation “servant.” Her last residence was Valders and her final destination is Minneapolis. She paid for her own passage and had $5. She was going to join her cousin Rangde Ellingbö. Marit appears to have been traveling with 16 year-old Ragnhild Lunde, also from Valders (but not, apparently, from Vang) and also heading to Minneapolis to find work as a domestic.

In the 1901 Minneapolis city directory, she is Marit A Ellingbo, a seamstress, living with Jøger T Ellingbo at 1425 East Franklin.

She was one of the witnesses to her uncle Jøger’s 1903 marriage to Olena.

In the 1903 Minneapolis city directory, she is Marie Ellingbo, tailor at A J Kidd, boarding with Rangdi at 2121 13th Avenue S.

In the 1907 Minneapolis city directory, she is probably the Mary Ellingbo, seamstress, rooming at 2417 Butler Place.

In the 1909 Minneapolis city directory she is Marie Ellingbo, a seamstress who boards at 2417 Butler Place. There was a Conrad Hanson living on Butler Place at the same time.

In the 1910 Minneapolis city directory, she is still Marie Ellingbo, still a seamstress, still boarding at 2417 Butler Place.

Because Bertha is listed as “sister-in-law” in the 1920 census, we can deduce that Mary became the wife of Conrad Hanson and was living at 4420 43rd Avenue South in Minneapolis at that time.

Shown as Mary I. in her death certificate. Her father was shown as Ole Ellingboe and her mother as Ingeborg Qvale. The informant for her death certificate was her son Burton Hanson of 6421 Oliver in Minneapolis. (Burton was mistaken: Marit’s father was, indeed, Anders Tollefson.) Mary died of asthma and heart disease. Her usual residence at the time of death was 2246 East 56th Street in Minneapolis which may be the address of the “St. Olaf Residence.”

Baptismal sponsors: Berit Trondsdatter Opdal, Anders Andersen Hermundstad, Ole Tostensen Grohammar, Haaver Knudsen Hermundstad, Guri Tostensdatter Grihammar.

The Concordia Lutheran record of his marriage says he was born on Berge in Valdres and that his wife, Annie Weflen, was born in Granite Falls.

In the 1910 census, he and Annie and Jorgen and Marie live in Fillmore Twp, Divide County, North Dakota, on a farm Knute owns with a mortgage.

In the 1920 census, his wife was Guri. She was 36 and born in Norway. Included in the household was Maria C. Together, Knute and Gura had a daughter Gladys, 1 month old.

The Odegard Family Tree on Ancestry has an incorrect mother shown for Knute.

She was elected president of the new James Henry Longworth unit of the Woman’s Relief Corps formed in January of 1934.

Confirmed by Tenner Thompson at Minnehaha Lutheran Church on May 24, 1931.

Viv and Bill were secretly married in Iowa nearly a year before their 1935 wedding in Minneapolis. That earlier marriage, solemnized by an Episcopal rector, took place on October 20, 1934, at St. John’s Church in Mason City, Iowa. Vivian claimed to be 19 years old although she was only 17. Bill claimed to be 21 although he was 19. At that time, Bill was living at 3344 Stevens Avenue in south Minneapolis.

Viv worked in her father's bicycle business in the mid to late 1930s and ran the Minnehaha store, and, indeed, the entire wholesale and retail business, for awhile. She and Bill moved to Wilmington, Delaware, in the spring of 1940. Ronald was born in June, shortly after they completed their move. Viv and Bill started a bicycle business (also called Acme Bicycle) in Wilmington. (Schwinn assisted them in setting up the Wilmington store.) The Wilmington store lasted less than a year due to supply constraints arising from wartime allocations. In the 1942 Wilmington city directory, Bill was a clerk for Meisel Tire Co. They lived at 711 Seville Avenue in North Hills. Bill and Viv then worked for Du Pont, first in Wilmington, later in other locations, during the war. Vivian was a confidential clerk and Bill worked in the personnel section, hiring construction workers. The projects they worked on were parts of the Manhattan project although they weren’t aware of that until after the war. They returned to Minneapolis for awhile but were transferred back to Delaware in May of 1943. Bill and Viv lived in Gary, Indiana, in November of 1944 when Maurice and Cora visited them on their way back from visiting DHC in New Orleans. Bill and Viv returned to Minneapolis in a couple of weeks later, in November of 1944 to work for Gopher Ordnance, also a part of DuPont.

From Cora’s 2nd diary, we learn of the addresses Viv and Bill lived at between the time they moved and the end of 1944 (at which point they had returned to Minneapolis):

She became director of Christian Education at St. David’s Episcopal Church in Minnetonka Mills in September of 1958.

She and Bill celebrated their silver wedding anniversary on 27 Jul 1960 with an open house at their Idylwood Drive home. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Carlson and Mr. and Mrs. Reed S. Wold were hosts and hostesses. (Reed Wold was a neighborhood friend of Bill and Viv when they were high schoolers on Minnehaha Avenue.

As a reprise of her earlier days in the business, Viv and Earl helped out at the store (with Elaine) for several weeks in the spring of 1970.

Her obituary in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune on April 5th:

Dahlberg, Vivian Carlson Age 90, of Minnetonka, died Friday at Methodist Hospital from complications of Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. She was preceded in death by her husband, Earl and step son, Doug. She is survived by children, Ron (Doris) Marsh, Leslie (Marshall) Lewis; stepdaughter, Lynn Bauer; daughter-in-law, Carita Dahlberg; 7 grandchildren, numerous great and great-great-grandchildren; brother, Don (Elaine) Carlson. Vivian's career as Director of Religious Education began at St. David's Episcopal Church and continued on to Gethsemane Lutheran Church. It was Vivian's inner faith that continued to guide and support her which enabled her to be the foundation of our family. She was dearly loved and will be missed by all who knew her. Memorial service Monday 1:30 PM with visitation 1 hour before at the Washburn-McReavy Strobeck Johnson Chapel, 1400 Mainstreet, Hopkins. Private interment Grandview Park Cemetery.
