  Notes	Not living with his parents in the 1880 census. He was a 17 year-old farmhand on a farm in Eureka Twp. According to Rose, it was this Ole Nelson (or possibly, his father) who encouraged Ove and family to come to the New Market area because you could see three church spires from there. In the 1910 census (May 10th), he and his family live on a farm in New Market, Scott County, next door to the newly married Ole and Rose Ellingboe. He was 46 and had been married for 6 years to Selma, 37. It was the first marriage for both and Selma had had 2 children: Sofia, 4, and Oscar, 3. On the other side of them lived 50 year-old Nels Nelson, a widower, with his son Henry, 15. In the 1930 census, he lives in New Market with his son Oscar. They are listed on the census form just after the Ole Ellingboe family. Ole is shown as a widower. Died of valvular heart disease, chronic nephritis, and arteriosclerosis. Info on his death certificate was provided by Walter Hanson of Lakeville.
