He farmed Bøkko from 1830-1840 with the help of his son Jon, who was the owner from 1830 (age 15) and who took over farming in 1840, giving them a pension that consisted of 2 barrels of barley, 2 cows, 1 heifer, 4 goats and sheep, the southern most storehouse, the use of a 1 mål parcel of land on North Klokkarhaug, lower part, with right to cultivate 1 mål of it, and the pasture land Neståkerreina. Jon's whole family emigrated in the spring of 1850. Trond Ø. Bø Ellingbø emigrated to Minnesota in 1853. Trond Ivarsson Uvdal took over Bøkko 1850, but emigrated to America in the spring of 1862. Øystein and his wife moved back to N. Bø in ca. 1865. The farm was divided into three subfarms, two under Bagetun and one under Nordigarden Ellingbø. In 1867 and 1868 (when Trond Øysteinsson returned to Vang) the farm was divided into four parts (See Vang A, p. 582), the main part being Bøkko (#33/3). Trond Ivarsson sold Bøkko to Knut Ivarsson Eltun for 500 spd. on 25 April 1868. It is said that it was Embrik and Helge Ellingbø who bought Bøkko from Trond and sold a half part to Knut, and that Jon Endresson and Torstein (son of Helge) took over each of the remaining half parts.

According to Jim, Jon was from N. Bø; his mother was from Ellingbø (Bøkko). On 1 March 1830, when Jon was 15, his grandfather Andris (presumably, Jim means Jon’s grandfather Jon Andrisson) sold him Bøkko for 600 spd. with the provision that Andris could farm it as long as he was able. Andris died 16 days later. Jon's father farmed it for him for about 10 years until Jon took over and his father become a pensioner on the farm. Jon also gave a pension to Ivar Helgesson and his wife. See pp. 580-581 Ref. 1 for information to 1850. Some post-emigration information provided by John W. Ellingboe, Lloyd W. Ellingboe, William L. Ellingboe. Other information from census records, obituaries, etc. See photographs of cabinet painted with names of Jon and his wife.

An article in the Wisconsin State Journal, 6 Sep 1902, says that he came to the U.S. “over 50 years ago, settled two-and-a-half miles east of Stoughton, lived there 19 years, then went to Minnesota. He returned to Dane County 8 years ago last December and since that time has been living with a granddaughter, Mrs. Knud Soine, near McFarland.” … “He was the father of Mrs. J. O. Cold and Matt Ellingbo, of Stoughton. There are three other sons: John Ellingbo of Northfield, Minnesota, Andrew O. and Austin Ellingbo, of Milton, North Dakota, and four dead children (one son and three daughters), two of whom are buried here.”

The article goes on to say: “Mr. Ellingbo landed here following the period of hostilities between Black Hawk and the whites and years before the red men had wholly vanished. He was one of those brave farmers who transformed the woods and the prairies into beautiful homesteads, before the days of the telegraph and railroad.”

One day, after threshing with other farmers, he told the others to go home while he took a nap in the hay stack. As the men were leaving, they looked back to see smoke from the hay stack and rushed back to find Øystein with his head badly beaten. They brought him home and summoned a doctor who stayed the night, but towards morning Øystein died. The men saw a man running away from the burning hay stack, but they could not see who he was. According to Bella, the family knew who had killed Øystein but they never revealed his name because the killer's family were good people.

Also called Mathew Ostensen.

In the 1900 census, he was Mathew Ellingboe, a house painter living in Stoughton with his wife Maggie and their daughter Minnie. They also housed three boarders.

On August 14, 1903, he attempted to beat his wife to death and then kill himself by hanging. As the headline to the story in the State Journal says, he failed at both. The article says that he was jealous of his wife and had been drinking heavily recently although witnesses said he was not drunk when he tried to murder his wife. The article also said that he “has a wife and one child, a married daughter, and the family conducts a boarding house on the corner of Fourth and Main Streets in Stoughton.

He called himself, and signed himself, “M.A. Ellingbo” in documents related to his first wife’s estate.

In the 1910 census, he was Matthew M Ellingbo, a house painter living in Stoughton with his second wife Anna. They also have six lodgers.

Seems to be referred to as Nels Ellingbo in a few brief articles in the Janesville Daily Gazette in 1917.

An article in the April 22, 1922, edition of the Capital Times notes that communication with Northfield had been received of the death of Matt’s brother John. The article mentions a sister of Matt and John, Mrs. Jens Cold, also of Stoughton.

In the 1930 census, he and Andrina were living in Stoughton. Matt was a carpenter.

Matt Ellingbo inherited $6,000 from the estate of his wife Andrena, an extraordinary sum in 1934. Also named in her will: $50 to the Martin Luther Orphan’s home, $50 to the United Lutheran Church for mission work in China, and $100 each to Mrs. Emma Eggum, Chicago, Emma Iverson, Dunkirk, and Josie Ruer, Stoughton.

Attending his funeral were his niece and nephew, Bertha Ellingboe Gunderson and John Ellingboe of Northfield. An obit in the Capital Times says that he was the last survivor of “the family of Johan and Margaret Ellingbo, Stoughton pioneers of covered wagon days.”

“Henry H. Ives was born June 1869 in Goodhue county. He was living in Maynard in 1949 and probably spent most of his adult life there. Henry had a sister, possibly named Ingeborg, who married Carl Anderson. They lived in Maynard also. A niece, Irene Ives, married Arthur H Holien in Renville County on 6 March 1929 and they lived in Granite Falls.”

In the 1920 census, he was a bachelor farmer in Wang Twp, Renville County. Living with him is his spinster sister Emma and his mother Berit as well as two hired hands, Sever Strand and Gilbert Olson.

Strangely, and quite erroneously, several family trees on Ancestry show him marrying a Rose Shortell in New Jersey!

John M. Ellingboe was born November 30, 1874, near Stoughton, Wisconsin.  His parents, John J. and Ambjor (Strand) Ellingboe, moved the family to a farm located 3 miles east of Northfield on the Wall Street road in 1882.  John attended a small rural school, Northfield High School for one year and then went back to help on the farm until 1882 when the family moved to town.  It was then that John Ellinboe began his long and successful career in local sales.  His first job placed him behind the counter of the Skinner and Drew general merchandise store (located where the Northfield Variety Store is now).  During this time he was able to raise the money necessary to support a wife and married Elise Hendrickson June 25, 1893.  Elise was born April 2, 1872, in Solor, Norway.  She came to America at the age of 12 when her parents, John and Karen Hendrickson, immigrated and settled in the Christiana neighborhood north of Northfield.  John and Elise eventually moved into a large house at 811 Division Street where they raised a family which included Alice (Mrs. Oscar Simonson) who died in 1922, Louelle (Mrs. Herschel Reich), Mildred (Mrs. Elmer S. Hjortland) and John L.  All the children graduated from St. Olaf College.  John Ellingboe had hoped his son, John, would follow him in the retail business, but instead he became a noted artist of the southwest.  Elise died of a stroke January 13, 1937.  He married Thea Berg July 16, 1940.  In 1897 John left his job at the general store for a step up as clerk in the first “exclusive” store in Northfield, the C. W. Gress clothing store (located where the Mitchell Store is now).  His brother, Martin, was also employed there, and the two began to plan for a store of their own, “Ellingboe’s” men’s clothing store at 19 Bridge Square (now an office section of the First Bank of Northfield) opened in 1903.  John Ellingboe continued that business for the next 42 years.  In 1907 John and Martin Ellingboe formed a partnership with john Eltun and bought the Skinner and Drew general store which had by this time been moved to the building at the southeast corner of E. 4th and Division Street.  For 17 years John worked at both stores.  In 1922 John purchased his brother Martin’s interest in both the Northfield stores.  The following year he sold the general store but continued to operate the “Ellingboe’s” men’s store.  In 1945 John sold his store and retired after 51 years of serving the citizens of Northfield from behind the counter.  An interesting fact is that the sale of the store was made without the usual requirement of an inventory of wares; for the buyer knew Mr. Ellingboe’s reputation for honesty and accepted his word for the value of the stock.  The store retained the name of “Ellingboe’s” for several years thereafter.  John enjoyed an active retirement until his death in 1958, at age 83.  In 1973 a granddaughter of John’s, Elaine Hjortland Feroe and her family moved to Northfield where she is on the staff of St. John’s Lutheran Church.  This church is the one John Ellinboe joined in 1883.

Carried on the newswires for the Thursday, April 30, 1925, editions was this article:

Ladysmith, Wis. -- Frantic with fright after she shot the man who attempted her honor, Mrs. Rollie Crandall, 35, escaped his bloody clutches, leaped into the family car, and sped 45 miles through the night at breakneck speed, collapsing in a restaurant at Cameron junction.

Details of the affair were learned today when Mrs. Crandall, identified in a hospital at Rice Lake, was brought back to her home here.

“Bill” Ellingboe, 25, an undertaker, was the victim of her defense. A bullet from a 38.55 calibre hunting rifle entered his jaw and came out at his temple. Physicians say he will recover.

Mrs. Crandall was lying on the bed crooning her two small children to sleep Tuesday night. Her husband, garage and livery owner, had driven to Courderoy Lake. The house was open.

At about 9 o’clock, according to police, Ellingboe, who is married and has two children, entered the bed chamber. He made advances and Mrs. Crandall grabbed her husband’s rifle. In the scuffle which followed, Ellingboe was shot. Mrs. Crandall fled downstairs, shouting that she was going for her husband. Ellingboe staggered after her. She leaped into the family sedan, hatless and coatless, and drove away. Ellingboe was found in the yard by Fred Crandall, brother-in-law of the woman. He took Ellingboe home.

Some time later, Mrs. Crandall staggered into a restaurant at Cameron Junction and collapsed. She was taken to a hospital at Rice Lake.

At the hospital she was hysterical and not until late yesterday was she identified. Her husband was notified and came for her.

Ellingboe was placed in the Sisters hospital here and will recover it was said today.

Both principals in the affair were respected citizens. Fred Crandall said Ellingboe was intoxicated.

County Attorney D. H. Huckhart was not decided whether charges will be brought against either.

A different article on the incident noted, “Ellingboe … was said to have admitted to Ladysmith authorities that he had persistently annoyed Mrs. Crandall for more than a year and that he last night entered her apartment and attempted assault.”

The Ellingboe and Crandall families had been friendly for a long time and much of Crandall’s auto livery business came through funeral work which he secured from Ellingboe.

Ellingboe claimed that he had called at the Crandall home and when no one answered the door he entered and was engaged in conversation with Mrs. Crandall when the shot was fired by her.

In the 1930 census he and his family lived in Crystal Falls, Michigan, where he was an undertaker at a furniture and undertaking store. Both boys were single and living at home.

In the 1940 census, he and Sadie and Harold lived in Crystal Falls where William worked for an “undertaking establishment.” They lived in a rental residence, the same house in which they had lived in 1935. William earned $1500 in 1939. He was a high-school graduate, Sadie had an eighth-grade education.

The damages to the vehicles, and injuries to the occupants of those vehicles, while apparently minor, were the subject of a lawsuit in which Thomas was the plaintiff.

Notes:

Berith is mentioned on p. 104 of the Vang B bygdebok but she is erroneously referred to there as “Randi.” The bygdebok identifies her mother as Randi Eiriksdotter Kattevøl.

The rest of the children shown for that family are quite a bit younger although there is a daughter Kersti, age 10 (so born in 1869 or 1870) born in Norway. That implies that A. Pederson and Randi were together in Norway before coming to the U.S. in about 1870. Their 10-year-old son, Gustav, was born in Minnesota.

In the 1910 census, she is 48 years old, has been married for 29 years, and has had 15 children, 14 of whom are still living, and 13 of whom are still living at home. She came to the U.S. in 1872.
