Katherine has this life story of Ingeborg (originally posted by Shirl2sg):

Ingeborg (Isabelle) Thomson was born in Vang in Valders, Norway July 18, 1857. Her parents were Ole Thurston Trondsen and Ingeborg Anders daughter. Her parents are interred in cemetery of the Silver Lake Lutheran church about 4 miles east of Emmons, Minnesota. Ingeborg was about one year old when her parents migrated to America and she was with them on their westward trek across Wisconsin to Calmer, Iowa. The family lived there during the Civil War and she told her children about the Union soldiers passing through on their way south.

When Ingeborg was about twelve (1869) the family moved to Worth County, Iowa, and she later recalled fishing in nearby lakes (Silver Lake being one) and playing with the Winnebago Indian children, that tribe being nearby. When she was about seventeen the family moved on to Rock County, Minnesota, where she found work with the family of a lumber man named Roderick and with them she later moved to the new town of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where work had begun on a railroad to link that town with the east. She was governess to the Roderick children.

At the age of twenty-three Ingeborg took up a claim next to one of her brothers, Andrew, about two miles southeast of the present village of Montrose, South Dakota. This place was about one and one-half miles north of the claim of her future husband. Ingeborg, having had schooling in America, did much in helping Lars with his education. Besides mothering nine children she spent long hard hours at keeping house, gardening, raising chickens and at times even helping with the farm work by mowing or driving the horses pulling the reaper.

Despite low prices on farm produce, grasshoppers and sometimes serious droughts, the couple prospered. Their principal source of income was from sale of livestock. By leasing grazing land on the nearby hills they would run up to 150 cattle and they also raised sheep, and hogs.

Lars’s health began to fail about 1904 and the doctors could not diagnose his ailment so, in September, 1909, the couple and younger children moved to Colton a village about twenty-one miles east of Montrose. Lars seemed to overcome his ailment and finally died when he was almost ninety-three years old. He was proceeded in death by Ingeborg by about twelve years. She was then seventy-nine.

Ingeborg was about 5 ft 8-1/2 in tall and was always slim. She had reddish brown hair and blue eyes. Cause of death - cancer of digestive organs. She was always quiet, tolerant and mild mannered to all except in rare occasions in defense of her children, all of whom were born at home without aid of a medical doctor and only a midwife to attend. While Lars was given to outburst of sometimes violent temper, she always remained calm and although she permitted him, as head of the family, to think that his was the final say in family and business matters, there was no doubt that her subtle influence was ever present. She doctored and nursed her children to healthy adulthood and still found time to spend many days and nights watching over and nursing ailing neighbors. Both Lars and Ingeborg were of the Lutheran faith and with the nearest church of that denomination about eight miles distant, the father often held Christian services at home while they lived on the farm. All the children were baptized and confirmed as Lutherans.
