However, this 2nd Joseph had both parents born in Germany.

In the 1892 Milwaukee city directory, he is a coremaker living at his father’s address, 154 S Bay.

His entry in the 1910 census also shows both of his parents as born in Germany. In that census, he is a 34 year-old single man living in Bradford, Pennsylvania (McKean County). His name is written and indexed as Joseph Ellinbboe. He works as a core maker in a foundry.

He emigrated from Kristiansund on 28 March 1900 on a Cunard ship, with permission. He arrived in the U.S. at Portland, Maine, as “Karl Jange”, 24 year-old laborer, on April 16, 1900, aboard the S.S. Tunisian. His destination was his cousin, E. Gustad of Aitkin, Minnesota, who paid for his passage.

He is the “Charles”, “brother”, living with Edward and Elise Gustad in the 1900 census. That “Charles”, however, was shown as born in March of 1875. The name confusion may be because Karl, despite his Junge surname, was also a Gustad. He had been born on, and lived on, the Gustad farm according to his confirmation record.

He registered for the draft in Superior on September 12, 1918, as Charly Young. He was born on 30 July 1875. He was a ship builder with Superior Ship Building Co.

He (as Charles Young) and his family live in Superior in the 1910 and 1920 censuses. Charles is a laborer in the shipyards.

In the 1930 census, he is probably the Charles Young, age 45 (sic), who is living in Superior with his 13 year-old son or grandson, also named Charles Young. The older Charles was born in Norway, came to the U.S. in 1900, and was a laborer for the railroad. He was a widower. The younger Charles, and his parents, had been born in Wisconsin. The younger Charles may be indicated as Charles Jr and he may also be indicated as adopted.

In the 1940 census, he is a 64 year-old widower living in a boarding house in Superior. He works for a shipyard.

He is probably the Charles Young, age 87, who died in Superior in Douglas County on 23 May 1962.
