  Notes	Not listed in the Vang births. According to Jim’s source, Andrew was baptized with the patronym Andersen which indicates that Andrew was not the son of Ola Jørgensson. Jim’s notes for Andrew in his Ellingboe tree: There is no record in the Vang church books for the birth of Anders. In the 1865 Census of Minnesota, he is listed as Anders Andersen, while his brothers Ole and Jørgen are listed with their mother under the name Jørgensen. Also, in the christening record for Anders, which was found in the Vang Church (Holden Township, Goodhue County, Minnesota) by Curt , his name is listed as Anders Andersen. This very deliberate distinction in his name is strong evidence that Ole Jørgensen was not his father and that an unknown Anders was his father. It is likely that widow Marith and her children emigrated because she was obviously pregnant and was not going to marry the father of Anders. It would be difficult to hazard a guess as to who the father of Anders was because there were many men by the name of Anders in Vang at this time. In the 1875 Census of Minnesota, he is listed as Anders Olsen, age 13, with mother Mary Olsen, age 39, brothers Ole, age 18, and Jorgen, age 15. All were listed as having been born in Norway. The 1885 Census of Minnesota lists the family under the surname Ellingboe, with mother Marit Ellingboe, age 49, born in Norway, Ole Ellingboe, age 28, born in Norway, and Anders, age 22, born in Ontario. It would seem that he was born while his mother and brothers were immigrating to Minnesota, probably by way of the port of Quebec. Arta believes that he was born soon after Marit's arrival in Northfield, Minnesota, where her brother Tosten Quamme was already living. According to Arta , Andrew had three daughters and one son, Arthur. He left his wife when the children were ages 1-4 and married again about 14 years later. His second marriage produced one daughter who was living at the age of 97 in 2000. In the 1885 census he living with his brother Ole and Marit in Kerkhoven Twp (Lake Johanna P.O.). He is shown as age 22, born in Ontario. He was apparently born during his mother’s journey from Norway to Minnesota. His father was born in Norway. His mother may have been too but the 1910 census for Andrew claims that his mother spoke Swedish. In the 1895 census he was 29 and was some kind of an engineer living in a hotel in West Minneapolis. He is listed in the 1895-1896 Minneapolis city directory as Andrew Ellingboe, machinist, Minneapolis Threshing Machine Co., resides in Hopkins. (The Minneapolis Threshing Machine Co. was a predecessor to the Minneapolis-Moline Co.) Presumably, he is the Andrew O Ellingboe mentioned in the March 24, 1896, edition of the Willmar Tribune as having “devoted much of his time this winter in the buying of stock.” In the 1900 census, indexed as Andrew Elingbor, he is a 35-year old single engineer boarding with the Robert Nelson family in Brainerd. In the 1903 Brainerd city directory, he was an employee of C E Peabody. He and Annie resided at 1324 E Pine Street. In the 1905 census he and his family live at 1320 Pine Street in Brainerd. He is a bartender. The 1905 Brainerd city directory shows him at 1329 E Pine St. His wife is Annie. In the 1907 Brainerd city directory, he and Annie live at 614 Laurel Street. He is a bartender. An article in the Brainerd newspaper in November of 1907 says that A. O. Ellingboe has taken over the agency of the Fitger Brewing Co. In the 1908 Brainder city directory, he and Annie live at 1603 E Pine Street. He is an agent for Fitger & Co. He was a saloon keeper in Brainerd in the 1910 census. His saloon was called the Nugget. In the 1920 census, he is 57 year-old Andrew O. Ellingboe, born in Minnesota, a stationary engineer living in Brainerd with his wife Anna M., 34, and daughter Ruth V. M., 16. Andrew was also the census enumerator. In the 1927 Brainerd city directory, he is a clerk for the Northern Pacific Railway. He and Annie live at 502 Quince. In the 1930 census, Ruth has left home and Andrew and Anna are living in Brainerd at 1204 S. 7th. Andrew is a laborer at a railroad shop. In the 1937-1938 Brainerd city directory, Andrew and Anna M live at 1204 S 7th. Same in the 1939-1940 directory. In the 1942-1943 Brainerd city directory, The entry for Andrew O Ellingboe is “moved to Milwaukee Wis.” In the 1944-1945 Wright’s directory for Milwaukee, Andrew O Ellingboe and his wife Anna M reside at 1441 N Humboldt Avenue. They were still there in the 1947 city directory. In the 1940 census, he lived with his wife and daughter in Milwaukee. According to Jim’s source, Andrew was married twice and had three daughters and one son by his first wife. He left his first wife when the children were quite young and married again about 14 years later. His obit from the Friday, July 25, 1947, edition of the Brainerd Daily Dispatch: Andrew Ellingboe, former resident of Brainerd, died Tuesday afternoon at the home of his daughter, Ruth, 1441 North Humboldt, Milwaukee, Wis. Mr. Ellingboe had been living in Milwaukee for the past eight or 10 years. Previously he had lived in Brainerd where he worked at the Northern Pacific shops.
