An 18 year-old Engwald J Salthun lived in Northfield, Minnesota, in 1905. He and his father had been born in Wisconsin, his mother had been born in Norway.

In the 1900 census, he lived in Northfield. His parents were John Selthun, age 43, and Ambjor, age 53.

Engwald was first married when he was 22; Harriet was first married at age 18.

In 1933, as Ingvald J Selthun, he lived in Minot, North Dakota.

In the 1940 census, he is Ingwald Selton, age 53, living with his daughter Nora Eliason in Minot, North Dakota. He is a laborer on county-wide road projects but he, like his daughter, was unemployed.

He is probably the Ingwald John Seltun who registered for the World War II draft in North Dakota. That Ingwald was born 20 Nov 1886 in “Penokey Cap, Wisconsin.” He lived in Cartright, North Dakota but his mailing address was general delivery, Minot. He worked for Leland Bros. of Cartright, North Dakota. His person who would always know his address was Miss E. A. Seltun, general delivery, Minot.
