  Notes	As 8 year-old Clarence, he was living with his parents in Menasha in the 1910 census. Graduated from Menasha High School with the class of 1919, of which he was the senior class president. From there he went on to the University of Wisconsin in Madison. In April of 1923, he was involved in a traffic accident in which an automobile he was driving struck and killed a five year-old girl in Neenah. Miss Blanche Williams was also in the car with Clarence. He was later found not responsible for the accident although he and his father were sued for $10,000 by the girl’s father. The suit was later dropped after a $300 out-of-court settlement. In the 1924 San Antonio, Texas, city directory, he is Clarence H Ellingboe of Eldridge & Slinkard. He lived at 233 Claudia. As of April of 1925, he was a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin. In 1925, he accepted a position for the summer months at Henry, Illinois. In October of 1926, he was of the A. E. McMahon Engineering Co. engaged in a survey projetc through 25 miles of virgin forest. In the 1928 Minneapolis city directory, he is probably C H Ellingboe, a salesman for Frigidaire Corp. He lives in St. Paul. In the 1930 census, he and Grace lived in Roseville, Ramsey County, Minnesota, where Clarence is a foreman in a “car shop.” He was a veteran of the World War. In the 1932 St. Paul city directory, he is a clerk for the Standard Steel Car Company. He lives at 2600 West Como. In the 1935 and 1936 Minneapolis city directories, he’s a purchasing agent for Northern Pump Co. He and Grace live at 1923 McKinley. In the 1938 city directory, he is still with Northern Pump but he and Grace now live at 2301 22nd Avenue N E. In the 1940 census, he (age 38) and Grace (age 50) and their maid live at 2301 22nd Avenue in a rented residence. Both he and Grace have three years of college. He works as a purchasing agent for a company that manufactures lawn cutters and tractors. He earned $2400 in 1939. A September, 1947, article in the Star names Clarence as one of five “representatives of Minnesota steel processing companies” charged with working out means to increase scrap iron shipments from the state and to increase steel suppies to the state. The five would work with the state’s director of business outreach. In the 1948 Minneapolis city directory, he’s a purchasing agent for Pioneer Engineering. He and Grace live at 222 West 48th Street. In the 1950 census, he lives at the Milwaukee Athletic Club. He is a widower and is a salesman of plumbing supplies. No children from either marriage. There was a “Kunth M Ellingboe” included in the Wisconsin birth index, born in Winnebago County on 27 Mar 1902. This must be Clarence. His obit in the September 18, 1971, issue of the Tampa Tribune says that he died on 16 September. His widow was Alice. He was retired plumbing supply salesman and had moved to Florida from Milwaukee in about 1965. He was a Mason.
