  Notes	Land records show that the Worthington land office issued Wilhelm O Ellingboe a 160 acre homestead in Section 29 of Rock County on 15 Mar 1882. The land description is as follows: 1 NW 5TH PM No 101 N 46 W In the 1875 Minnesota state census, he was a farmer in Martin Twp, Rock County. In the 1880 census, he was a farmer in Martin Twp, Rock County, Minnesota. In the 1900 and 1910 censuses, he was still a farmer in Martin Twp, Rock County, Minnesota. The 1900 census says that he and Ambjor came to the U.S. in 1868. The 1910 census says 1866. Both censuses agree that Ole W. was born in Iowa. In the 1910 census, Ole W., 44, Bertha W., 31, and Luella A., 18, were still single and living at home. From the Hills Crescent, courtesy of Katherine: December 4, 1913 William Ellingboe Passes Away. This week it becomes the painful duty of the Cresent to chronicle the death of one of Hills most respected citizens, Mr. William Ellingboe, who died at Rochester hospital on the morning of December 3rd, where he went to have an operation for abdomen trouble. He suffered with several severe hemorrhages of the stomach about a year ago and was ill for a couple of months but since then had been able to be about the streets until about three weeks ago when he was again taken sick…. His daughter Mrs. Emma Shortt was in constant attendance at his bedside (at Rochester). Mr. Ellingboe was 74 on November 7th, and was one of the pioneer settlers of Martin township, having lived on the old home farm since 1873 until about two years ago, when the family moved to Hills. Deceased was married in Wisconsin and is survived by a wife, seven daughters and one son, two children, a boy and a girl, having proceeded their father to the Great Beyond. In spite of his advanced years Mr. Ellingboe was of a jolly disposition and always had a kind word for everyone. Much could be written concerning the early history of the deceased since coming to this township and settling here, when this county was a veritable wilderness as he was numbered among the first pioneers to settle this section of the county. December 11, 1913 Obit. William Ellingboe was born in Vang Valders, Norway on November 7th, 1839 and died December 3rd, 1913. He was united in marriage to the wife that survives him on September 30, 1866 at Jefferson Prairie, Wisconsin. Deceased leaves a wife and the following children to mourn him: Ole of Hills, Miss Betsy Olena of Los Angeles, CA, Miss Bertha and Luella of Tempe, AZ, Mrs. W.H. Shortt of Sioux City, IA, Mrs. Sherman Coxe of Denver, CO, Mrs. W.A. West of Sioux Falls, SD, Miss Ida of Hills. His obit in the Sioux Falls newspaper: Funeral services for the late William Ellingboe, father of Mrs. William West of this city, were held at Hills, Minnesota, this afternoon. The deceased died at Rochester, Minnesota, on December 3rd following an operation for abdominal trouble. Mr. Ellingboe was 74 years old and one of the pioneer settlers of Martin township, Rock County, where he had lived on a farm until about two years ago when the family moved to Hills. He is survived by his wife, seven daughters, and one son. He is listed in “The Valdris Book”, a history of the Valdris Samband published in 1920 (available on Google Books), as “William Ellingboe Hills Minn.” His entry shows that he was a member of the Samband between 1902 and 1913 and that he came to America in 1866. In a 1914 land ownership map of Rock County, Minnesota, W O Ellingboe owned 160 acres in Section 29 of Martin Twp, about a mile and a half west of the village of Hills. His farm consisted of two 80 acre parcels, the north half of the southwest quarter and the east half of the northwest quarter. William’s last will and testament was dated 22 Mar 1912. It names his son Ole as his executor. The two 80 acre parcels were to go to his wife, as a life estate, and then to William’s seven daughters after Ambjor’s death. In addition, his two daughters Betsey Ellingboe and Emma Ellingboe Shortt were to receive immediately on his death $100 each. The rest of his estate was to go to his son Ole and the seven daughters, share and share alike.
