    Notes 
    • She is I54315 in Jim’s VS. Jim notes that she came to America.

      In the 1900 census, as Bell Ellinghas, she is a 26 year-old servant on the Camp farm in Webster Twp, Rice County, Minnesota. She came to the U.S. in 1888. Mary Camp (#20830) was her 2nd cousin, once removed. Mary Camp was also her sister-in-law.

      In the 1905 state census she was living as a 30 year-old housekeeper in Webster Twp on the William Clark farm, not far from the Camp farm. She had been in Minnesota for 15 years, all of that time in the Webster area.

      In the 1910 census, she is a 36 year-old housekeeper on the William F Clark farm in Escelsior Twp, Kidder County, North Dakota. She came to the U.S in 1889.

      She was still living with William F Clark (b. ca 1844 Illinois) and his son James L Clark (b. ca 1884 Iowa) in Excelsior Twp in the 1915 and 1925 North Dakota censuses.

      William died in Kidder County, North Dakota, on 30 Aug 1926.

      There are no matches with the Vang emigrants listed in the parish records.

      Two trees on Ancestry have her marrying James L Clark and dying in Oregon in 1964. In the 1940 census, that couple lived in North Silverton Twp, Marion County, Oregon. James was 57, Belle was 67. They owned their house, worth $200, and they had lived there in 1935. James was employed as a lathe man for a handle factory. Belle had had 2 years of high school, James had only an eighth-grade education.
