Notes:

He was a husmann on Klukkarhaugo under Ellingbø 33/1.

See Vang A, p. 572, which notes that “Trond was certainly later husmann under Kjos,”and Vang C, p. 99, which is almost totally inconsistent with the Vang A entry. Jim’s notes, below, claim that the bygdebok author conflated two different people.

He is I29345 in Jim’s VS.

Jim’s notes:

7.1.1801 ble Trond stevnet av klokker Torsteinson og de andre almenningene ved Helin og Storlien fordi han hadde satt opp snarer og ha tatt mose som han som uvedkommende ødela skogen. Etter nærmere samtaler gikk han tilslutt med på å slutte me d virksomheten og betale 5 rd. til Vnag kirke dersom han ble tatt senere. Dessuten måtte han betale varsling og forliksalær. Han hadde 3 barn, men bare Marit vokste opp. Frøholm sier at han ble husmann under Kjøs, men her blander han to personer.

He is I4451 in Jim’s VS.

Jim’s notes:

Jørgen var med i det første kommunestyret i Slidre (1838) Geir Beitrusten skriver i "Garder og slekter i Vestre Slidre":" Navnet Jørgen eller Jørn kom til Ringestad ved at kona til Ivar, (altså Marit Vik, moren til denne Jørgen, HBs anm) var barnbarnet til den gamle Vangsprspresten Jørgen Greel." Dette er definitivt feil. Marit var barnebarn til Jørn A Ellingbø (1702- ), men han igjen var barnebarnet til Jørgen Greel og Dorthe Colding. Marit Vik er altså tipp-tipp oldebarnet til Jørgen Greel. Men navnet Jørgen kan altså godt komme fra ham.

Notes:

In the 1801 census, he may be the 12 year-old Ole Rejersen, a worker (“hans tienere”) on the Guttorm Larssen farm of Hamre in Slidre. A 19 year-old Lars Rejersen, presumably his brother, has the same position on the same farm. It’s possible that both boys are the sons, legitimate or otherwise, of the 46 year-old husmand med jord, Rejer Larsen of Hamre. That Rejer Larsen is #I15679 in Jim’s VS.

A Randi Larsdatter Ellingboe, b. 29 Apr 1815, was confirmed in Vang on 13 Sept 1829. This Randi’s parents were Lars Michelson and Randi Evensdatter. The father of the Randi who married Ole Helgesson was Lars Michelson. The father of the Randi who married Knud Iverson was Lars Tostenson. However, Randi is called a widow in the record for her marriage to Knud and her age is 30. Thus, the church book entry for the bride’s father is probably in error for the entry for her 2nd marriage.

• Baptism: 1 May 1814, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway
• Confirmation: 10 Aug 1828, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

There are many erroneous statements of her birthdate. One source says 11 Sep 1812, her obit said that she was born April 24, 1812, and her gravestone says April 22, 1813.

In the 1885 Minnesota state census, she is probably the 74 year-old Isabell Thompson living with her husband Ole with or next door to H O Thompson in Nunda Twp, Freeborn County.

According to the 1900 census she had had 9 children, 6 still living. In that census, she was an 86 year-old widow living with her son Henry and his family in Nunda Twp, Freeborn County, Minnesota.

Worth County is the Iowa county adjacent to Minnesota’s Freeborn County.

From the Hills Crescent, courtesy of Katherine:

March 23, 1905
Mrs. Ingeborg Thompson, mother of Mrs. Nels Iverson, died at the home of her daughter, southeast of town, Thursday, March 17, 1905, of old age. Mrs. Thompson was born in Norway April 24th, 1812 and was therefore nearly 93 years of age. She was not well known here outside the circle of her immediate relatives, having come here from Albert Lea only about two years ago. Mr. & Mrs. Iverson left Lester Saturday morning with the remains for Albert Lea where interment will take place. **(buried Silver Lake Lutheran Cemetery, Worth Co., IA)

The following was originally prepared by Katherine and can be found at Find A Grave:

Engeborg was the youngest of eleven children. She was a strong willed person and probably instigated the family migration to America. She was a tall thin woman with auburn or reddish hair and blue eyes. Lee G. Larson (Lewis Larson's son) remembers that when she was over 90 years old, she smoked a pipe and wore a white cap. Lewis Larson (son-in-law) once commented that Engeborg was quite forceful and sometimes petulant in manner.

Rachel Thompson married Nels Iverson and after Ole's death, Engeborg lived with the Iversons near Hills, Minnesota, until her death. Engeborg and Andrew Thompson went to South Dakota, where they both took up claims near the village of Montrose. Here Engeborg married Lewis "Lars" Hanson Larson; and Andrew, after losing his wife and two young daughters (interred at Montrose cemetery) moved to Spokane, Washington, remarried and raised a new family.

Jim’s notes:

OBW (Wangensteen-Slægten) skriver om ham: "Som Ældste Søn var han odelsberettiget til Kvam. Hvad Evner m.v angår så var han absolut den mest begavede inden Wangensteen-Slægten i Vang. Den Gløgge Mand og Menneskekjender Knut Nystuen - populært kaldt "Basen" - kunde således ved en Anledning give Lars W følgende korte, men Indholdsrige Skudsmål: "Detta va ein væl utrusta Ungdom". Alligevel var Skjæbnen den at alle Muligheder for at finde frem til noget varigt godt ikke lå i Lar s W Vei - en Gåde, som det synes at være fra først til sidst. Gjenemglødet som han var af Ungdomsfriskhed og Lærelyst blev han i ung Alder optaget som Elev ved Lærerskolen i Land og tog Eksamen med bedste Karakter. Dog så at der blev gjort den Tilføielse, at han var noget ustadig. Færdig med Skolen blev han beskjæftiget på Kotoret hos faderen og senere ansat hos Lensmand Bratli på Toten samt endvidere på Sagførerkontor i Kristiania. Alt syntes å gå godt idet han fik rig Anledning til å udfolde sin dygtighed og fyldestgjør e for de Forventninger, som stilledes til en så kundsabsrig og begaved Mand, som han var. Men så blev det desværre ikke længe før hans Glansperiode var forbi. Lensmandsbestillingen i Vang, som uafbrudt havde været i Hændene til Wangensteen i 60 År, blev efter John Ws Død og hans Søn Lars Konstitution i Stillingen ov erladt til den hæderlige, troværdige og hjertegode Mand P Ellingsen. Vang fik da mange "Fredens År", idet Folk fik stelle med sine offentlige Gjøremål uden nogensomhelst Påtryk fra den eller den Kant, Dette var bare "et Stille før Stormen". For ef terhånden kom "Traditionerne" igjen og der blev et politisk Sjau i Bygden, som det neppe har været Magen til. Efterhånden ble Lars W styren og lei. - det sagdes på Grund af han ble negtet Ægdeskap af familien. Dette får stå for egen Regning. So m en Eiendommelighed ved Lars var hans stærke Interesse for religiøse Emner. .. Skridtvis gik det nedeover med Forstanden og han måtte tilslut anbringes på Amtets Sindsygeasyl, hvor Døden gjorde en Ende på alle hans Lidelser og Savn."

He is Helge Olson Ellingbø, I6815, in Jim’s Ellingboe tree. In this tree, Jim has his birthdate as 4 Mar and his baptism date as 17 Mar. In the church record, it seems pretty clearly to be May.

According to Trudy, he took over the family farm when his father’s widow, Randi Larsdotter Ellingbø, remarried after his father’s death.

According to a letter that Jim has on his website, Ole Throndsen Ellingboe (#12055, Helge’s step-father) offered to pay for Helge’s passage to America by way of guaranteeing any loan Helge had to secure to effect the passage. Helge never emigrated and, in 1866, married Ann Jørgensdatter Ellingbøe, with whom he had seven children.

A Helge Olsen Ellingbö, b. 1834, and his wife Anne Torgersdatter, b. 1840, had a daughter Ambjorg, born in Vang on 31 Jan 1877, bapt 1 April.

In the 1900 Norwegian census, he and his wife and his children Ole, Anne, and Jørgen live on the Ellingbøhaugen under 33/1 farm.

In the 1910 Norwegian census, Helge and his wife Anne Jørgendatter are “far” and “mor” on the farm (Ellingbøhaugen 33/6) owned by his son Ole Helgesen. The household also includes two of Helge’s and Anne’s other children, Anne Helgesdatter and Jørgen Helgesen.

Notes:

Despite the entry in the emigration section of the churchbook, Sigrid did not emigrate with her family in 1858.

Instead, she stayed behind and married Anders Nilsen Skogstad on 22 Feb 1862 in Vang. The marriage record shows that she was Sigrid Olsdatter Ellingboe, 19 years old and the daughter of Ole Thronsen.

Jim, in his VS (I29356), has her marrying Andris Nilsen Rødningen Skogstad and having two children (Niels Anderson Skogstad, b. 1862, and Ingeborg Andersdatter Skogstad, b. 3 Oct 1863) in Vang. He also has Sigrid dying in Vang on 16 Jun 1865. The Sigrid Olsdatter who died in 1865 was 22 years old.

In the 1880 census, he and his family were farmers in the north half of McCook County, South Dakota. Living next to or with them was Andrew’s parents and sister. One of two boarders on Andrew’s farm was the future husband of Andrew’s sister, Lewis Larson.

Must have died before his brother Henry because he is not listed in Henry’s obit.

He seems to be the Anders Olsen Ellingbö, “b. 6 Mar 1847,” who was confirmed on Trinity Sunday, June 5th, 1863, at the Little Washington Prairie church in or near Decorah, Iowa.

In the record in the church book for his marriage to Ingeborg, no ages are shown for either the groom or the bride nor are the names of Anders’s parents shown. Andrew lived in Worth County, Ingeborg/Emma lived in Faribault County.

November 7, 1929
All of Grandma Nels Iverson’s children, except Mrs. John Larson of Westport Minnesota, were present last Sunday to help her celebrate her eighty-second birthday. Those present were Mr. & Mrs. Iver Wangsness, Mr. & Mrs Pete Severtson of Sioux Falls, Iver Iverson of Montrose, SD, and Ole N. and Rudolph Iverson of Hills. The visitors brought lunch and it was indeed a happy day for Grandma to have her children and grandchildren with her on this day. We all hope she will live to enjoy many more such joyfull occasion.

November 28, 1929
Two Pioneer Settlers Called by Death – Grandma Nels Iverson died at her home Wednesday morning…Obit. Next week.

December 5, 1929
GRANDMA IVER LAID AT REST NOVEMBER 30: Hills and community are again called upon to mourn the death of a pioneer mother, Mrs. Nels Iverson, who passed away at her home on November 27, 1929, at the age of 81 years and 23 days.
Grandma was born in Vang, Valders, Norway on November 4, 1848, and at the age of eight came to his country.
Mrs. Iverson, whose maiden name was Rangdi Olson-Ellingboe, was united in marriage to Mr. Nels Iverson, at St. Ansgar, Iowa, on July 16, 1868. From this time until 1871 the family lived in Winnesbeik County, Iowa, when her husband made the long journey to Martin township and took up a homestead one mile southeast of Hills in 1871, then returned east and brought his family here the next year - 1872.
Truly, the title "Grandma" belongs rightly to Mrs. Iverson as they were the first family to settle in this vicinity, and were charter members of the former Synod Church in Hills.
Her husband died on Christmas Eve, 1926, and she is survived by the following children - Mrs. Anna Jensen, Hills; Iver, of Montrose, S.D., Ole N., of Hills; Mrs. John Larson, of Westport, Minn; Rudolph, of Hills; Mrs. P. Severtson, and Mrs. Iver Wangsness of Sioux Falls.
All the children were present at the funeral.
Grandma, up until three days before her death, was able to attend to household duties when she was stricken with heart trouble that was the cause of her passing away.
Rev. Theo. Rodsater conducted services in the home at 1:30 pm., on November 30, and at 2:00 pm services were held at Bethlehem Church, when Rev. Rodsater spoke in English and Norwegian.
The Hills Glee club was also present at the Church and rendered two songs appropriate for the occasion.
The remains were carried to their final resting place in Bethlehem Cemetery by six grandsons, namely Nathan, Earnest and Lawrence Iverson of Montrose, S. Dak., Kenneth and Eugene Iverson, and Nels Jensen, of Hills.
Relatives from a distance at the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. John Larson, of Westport, Minn., Mrs. L. H. Larson, of Colton, S. Dak., Mr. and Mrs. Iver Iverson, of Montrose, S. Dak, Mrs. Earl Charles of Omaha.
It is impossible for the younger generation to realize the hardships these pioneers had to endure. The telephone, radio, auto, electric lights and hundreds of other conveniences we enjoy today were then unknown. Much of their trading was done at Sibley, Iowa, and today we think it quite a little journey in a swift moving auto, then to look back at the time when the Iverson’s and other early settlers had to make the journey during the winter months either with horses or ox team to Sibley for the necessities of life.
As we have said before, and in time it will surely come to pass, that monuments will be erected in honor of the early pioneers. This is not much, but it's the only method whereby we can, in a small way, show our respect and esteem to the early settlers who came here and opened the country that we might live in ease and comfort.
Long live the memory of Grandma Iverson

Mr. & Mrs. Iver Wangsness of Sioux Falls, Iver Iverson of Montrose, SD and Mrs. Anna Jenson of Hills left last Sunday for Lake Mills, IA to attend to funeral of their uncle.

Katherine has this life story of Henry (originally posted by Shirl2sg):

This is the life of Henry O. Thompson. Henry O. Thompson, native of Valders, Norway, came to the new world with his parents in the early '50s, when he was a lad of five years, the voyage being made in one of the old-time sailing ships which was nine weeks upon the water ‘ere anchor was dropped in the harbor of Quebec. They made their way westward by way of the Great Lakes to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and for a short time were residents of that state, but Iowa proved their ultimate destination. They located in Decorah, Iowa, where they remained for a year, and then traveled across the country with ox teams to Silver Lake township, Worth county, where they purchased one hundred and twenty acres of land. It was a wild tract, entirely destitute of buildings or improvements of any kind. A log cabin was built and the family began life in true pioneer style, sharing in all the hardships and privations incident to settlement on the frontier. After a time the grandfather sold the property in Worth county and removed to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, there purchasing a farm upon which he lived for a number of years. He afterward took up his abode in Munda township, Freeborn county, Minnesota, where the grandparents died at the home of their son, Henry Thompson. The latter was a youth of seventeen years when he started out in the business world on his own account. He left Silver Lake township, Worth county, to make his way to the territory of Wyoming, traveling partly by rail and partly on foot. At length he reached Cheyenne, where he was employed as a cook in the government mess house for eleven months. He afterward returned to Silver Lake township and was married to Miss Velger Olson. He next removed to Rock county, Minnesota, where he took up a claim of one hundred and sixty acres of government land that as yet had not known the touch of the plow. Upon that place he built a sod house, which he occupied for two years. He then returned to Silver Lake township and his wife soon afterward became ill and passed away. Later Mr. Thompson wedded Isabel Johnson and bought a farm in Silver Lake township comprising ninety-one acres, upon which he lived for three years. He then traded that property with Ryer Johnson for his present farm of two hundred and forty acres in Munda township, Freeborn county, Minnesota, where he still makes his home. He has devoted practically his entire life to general agricultural pursuits and is still engaged in the cultivation and development of his farm. He has reached the age of sixty-seven years, while his wife is now sixty-four years of age.

Katherine has this obit for Henry (originally posted by Shirl2sg). As Katherine clarifies: “There is another Henry Thompson of the same birth year resident near Lake Mills who is married to a Betsy Leikvold. This may be the source of the confusion.”

OBITUARY: Henry O. Thompson, Worth County, Iowa Henry O. Thompson [1854- aft 1920] HENRY O. THOMPSON was born January 12, 1854 to Ole and Ingeborg Ellingboe Thompson.

Shown in the 1910 census as having had 9 children, all 9 still living.

Katherine has this life story of Ingeborg (originally posted by Shirl2sg):

Ingeborg (Isabelle) Thomson was born in Vang in Valders, Norway July 18, 1857. Her parents were Ole Thurston Trondsen and Ingeborg Anders daughter.  Her parents are interred in cemetery of the Silver Lake Lutheran church about 4 miles east of Emmons, Minnesota. Ingeborg was about one year old when her parents migrated to America and she was with them on their westward trek across Wisconsin to Calmer, Iowa. The family lived there during the Civil War and she told her children about the Union soldiers passing through on their way south.

When Ingeborg was about twelve (1869) the family moved to Worth County, Iowa, and she later recalled fishing in nearby lakes (Silver Lake being one) and playing with the Winnebago Indian children, that tribe being nearby. When she was about seventeen the family moved on to Rock County, Minnesota, where she found work with the family of a lumber man named Roderick and with them she later moved to the new town of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where work had begun on a railroad to link that town with the east. She was governess to the Roderick children.

At the age of twenty-three Ingeborg took up a claim next to one of her brothers, Andrew, about two miles southeast of the present village of Montrose, South Dakota. This place was about one and one-half miles north of the claim of her future husband. Ingeborg, having had schooling in America, did much in helping Lars with his education. Besides mothering nine children she spent long hard hours at keeping house, gardening, raising chickens and at times even helping with the farm work by mowing or driving the horses pulling the reaper.

Despite low prices on farm produce, grasshoppers and sometimes serious droughts, the couple prospered. Their principal source of income was from sale of livestock. By leasing grazing land on the nearby hills they would run up to 150 cattle and they also raised sheep, and hogs.

Lars’s health began to fail about 1904 and the doctors could not diagnose his ailment so, in September, 1909, the couple and younger children moved to Colton a village about twenty-one miles east of Montrose. Lars seemed to overcome his ailment and finally died when he was almost ninety-three years old. He was proceeded in death by Ingeborg by about twelve years. She was then seventy-nine.

Ingeborg was about 5 ft 8-1/2 in tall and was always slim. She had reddish brown hair and blue eyes. Cause of death - cancer of digestive organs. She was always quiet, tolerant and mild mannered to all except in rare occasions in defense of her children, all of whom were born at home without aid of a medical doctor and only a midwife to attend. While Lars was given to outburst of sometimes violent temper, she always remained calm and although she permitted him, as head of the family, to think that his was the final say in family and business matters, there was no doubt that her subtle influence was ever present. She doctored and nursed her children to healthy adulthood and still found time to spend many days and nights watching over and nursing ailing neighbors. Both Lars and Ingeborg were of the Lutheran faith and with the nearest church of that denomination about eight miles distant, the father often held Christian services at home while they lived on the farm. All the children were baptized and confirmed as Lutherans.

Katherine has this obit for Ingeborg (originally posted by Shirl2sg):

The dead body found near the cemetery on Tuesday proved to be that of Gunder N. Lockrem, who had left home January 15th, on which day he went to the cemetery to make arrangements for the burial of his child which had died the day before. As he had gone away from home on several former occasions without informing his family of his plans, no search was made for him. The verdict of the coroner’s jury was that he came to his death by freezing. He was the husband of Ingeborg Enger Lockrem.

From Find A Grave as taken from the Wetaskiwin Times:

One of the first settlers of the Crooked Lake District passed away yesterday, Wednesday, at the age of 78 years. Mr. Kjos came to Alberta in 1900, settling in the Crooked Lake district, where he has been a farmer ever since.

He leaves to mourn his loss seven sons, Edwin, Iver, Albert, Thorwald, Oscar, Elmer and Tilmar, and four daughters, Mrs. Mary Lerum, Mrs. Ida Jevne, Mrs. Alma Reimer, Mrs. Clara Bigland.

The funeral of the late Eric E. Kjos, who died suddenly on the 6th of July, took place on Friday, and was attended by a large concourse of friends and relatives. The late Mr. Kjos was a pioneer settler of the Wetaskiwin district, where he and his wife settled with their family of seven sons and four daughters in 1900.

The deceased was born in Norway in 1848, immigrated to the United States in 1867, but with true Viking love for new fields and open spaces, immigrated with his family to the great Northwest twenty-seven years ago where his many descendants have founded homes and prospered.

His son, Thorwalk, arrived from Vancouver in time to attend the funeral, as did also his youngest son and daughter, Mrs. A. F. Bigland and Tilmar, of Magnolia, Alberta. Rev. Shillons officiated at the residence and at the church, delivering an impressive service in both the English and Norwegian languages. The pall-bearers were T. R. Jevne, T. T. Jeven, Thos. B. Jevne, Andrew Jevne, Evan Jevne and Osten Berge, old-timers in the district and relatives of the deceased.
