Ellingboe” parcel is the northeast quarter-section of Section 12, near Maynard. This parcel is contiguous with a 60.6 acre parcel in Section 7 of Wang Twp, Renville County, owned by “M. Ellingboe.” In the 1920 census, she is Mary Ellingboe, a 72 year-old widow living in the village of Maynard with her children Thomas, Maria, Thea, and Bertha, all unmarried. Died as Merith Ellingboe. Her death certificate, for which her son Iver was the informant, shows her birth date as 1 Feb 1848. She died of stomach cancer. The physician who signed her death certificate was L. C. Lima of Montevideo (#8267). The record of her will is in Chippewa County’s Will Records, Volume D, 1929-1938, for the will year 1934.
