    Notes 
    • Both parents born in Norway.

      An Ella Nordrum was listed in the 1895 state census as living in LaCrosse as female, born in the U.S. No other Nordrums are listed in LaCrosse. She seems to be living with Antona Hanson but that isn’t clear: it’s simply the name that comes before hers in the census listing.

      Apparently caught twice in the 1900 census. Once as a lodger at 222 King Street and once as a servant for the John Rowles family at 214 North 6th Street.

      In the 1901-1902 La Crosse city directory she is Miss Ella Nordrum, domestic, 415 S 5th.

      Shown as Ella C. in the 1910 census.

      In the 1940 census, she was a 56 year-old widow living with her daughter Marion and her family. Ella had a sixth-grade education.

      Of Duluth at the time of her daughter Marion’s death.

      Died as Ella Christine. According to her obituary in the Duluth newspaper, she died at home at 306 Worth Street in Duluth. (Her death certificate says she died at 4:40 PM at the Chris Jensen Home in Duluth.) She had been a Duluth resident for 80 years. No mention is made in her obituary of her husband. She had 21 grandchildren and 41 great-grandchildren.

      Her cause of death was cancer of the uterus.

      Her last name inferred from the death certificates of Gertrude and Marion. Confirmed by the La Crosse birth record. Ella was delivered by a Mrs. Mary Olson, presumably a midwife.

      Appears from IGI to have had a brother Arthur born May 9, 1887, in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. This seems unlikely.
