  Notes	He was George Ellingboe, 21, “teaching”, living on the V. J. Finstad farm in Kerkhoven Twp in the 1880 census. Also living on that farm were Marit Ellingboe, a 46 year-old widow, “housekeeper”, and Marit’s two sons, Ole, 23, and Andrew, 18. All four of these Ellingboes were born in Norway. In the 1885 census, he is G. O. Ellingboe in Pillsbury Twp, Swift County. In the 1895 census he is George Ellingboe and has remarried and is in Kerkhoven Twp. The November 23, 1897, edition of the Willmar Tribune says that George Ellingboe moved his family to Mille Lacs, Minnesota. In March of 1898, that paper noted that George was on his way to Aitkin County. In the 1905 state census he and his family live in Lake George Twp, Stearns County. Land records show that the St. Cloud land office issued a 153.67 acre homestead in Section 2 of Aitkin County to a George O Ellingboe on 14 Jun 1904. The land description is as follows: 1 E½NE 4TH PM No 44 N 24 W 2 SWNE 4TH PM No 44 N 24 W 3 SENW 4TH PM No 44 N 24 W In the 1910 census, he was a farmer in Crow River Twp, Stearns County. Living with the family is Sarah’s mother, Signe or Sigre Handa or Handr. The Hande site says that George purchased land in Churchbridge, Saskatchewan, in 1906. George moved his family to Canada in 1911. In the 1916 Canadian census, he is George C Ellingboe, age 57, living with his family in “22, 32, 1, Churchbridge” in the province of Saskatchewan, district of “28 Saltcoats.” Living with him is Sarah, 43, Josef S, 13, Verda, 17, Harry C, 19, William R, 8, Mildred J, 11, and Marcus S, 1. In a Minnesota Valley history, he seems to be referred to as “Professor.” Here is his entry in the “History of the Minnesota Valley”, published in 1882, for Swift County: Ellingboe, George O., Professor. Professor George O. Ellingboe was born January 29, 1859, in Norway. His father died and he came with his mother to America in 1862; the family resided in Goodhue County, Minnesota, five years and since that have been in Kerkhoven. He received a good education and has since been teaching; has a farm of 160 acres; since 1880 has been town clerk. Married January 30, 1882; Ida Syse. According to Jim’s source, George had ten children.
