    Notes 
    • Immigrated with parents and siblings 1852. Enlisted as private during Civil War, 1861-1862 and 1864-1865.

      Living with his parents in the 1860 census. Single and living with his parents in the 1870 census.

      The February 1, 1877 edition of the Manitowoc Tribune notes a real estate transaction for Helge Ellingboe.

      Living with his wife Emma and his five children in Gibson at the time of the 1880 census. Also living with them was his son Gilbert and his mother.

      The plat book for Manitowoc County showed that his farm was in section 15, Gibson.

      In the 1885 state census, there were two Ellingboe households in the town of Gibson, Manitowoc County. In the H. Ellingboe household there were 10 people: 7 born in the U.S. and 3 born in Scandinavia. Of the 10, 7 were male and 3 were female. In the G. Ellingboe household there were 5 people: 3 born in the U.S. and 2 in Scandinavia. Of the 5, 2 were male and 3 were female. (Those 5 were Gulbrand, his sister Randi, and Randi’s 3 children.)

      Helge was the clerk of the Gibson/Zander school district between 1880 and 1898.

      In the 1900 census, he is entered at the bottom of page 12 of 31 in Gibson, District 67. The family appears to have been indexed as Clollinglog. Still living at home at that time were the seven youngest children. The 1900 census showed that Helge owned his farm, free of mortgage.

      The Valdris book, the 1920 history and “manual” of the Valdris Samband, lists Helge C Ellingboe of “Mishicot Wis” as a member between 1908 and 1914.

      A note in his death record (ELCA church records) says that “at the time of his death he was the only remaining founder of church in Gibson.”
